About this episode

The episode discusses the relevance of Kubernetes compared to managed services, focusing on cost, lock-in, and team skills.

We get into K8s vs native orchestrators. Do you still need Kubernetes when managed services cover most needs? How do cost, lock-in, and team skills change the choice? Expect a heated debate. We are always happy to answer any questions, hear suggestions for new episodes, or hear from you, our listeners.DevSecOps Talks podcast LinkedIn pageDevSecOps Talks podcast websiteDevSecOps Talks podcast YouTube channel
