Adoption of the cloud and Kubernetes is growing, both by first-timers and organizations with significant investment in implementing Kubernetes. Drivers of this growth include the need for application modernization, unifying cloud workloads and automating container life cycle management. But for all the benefits of cloud and cloud-native adoption comes new challenges, including container security, Kubernetes skill gaps, cost management and issues with legacy applications.

Cloud and application modernization experts Mitch Ashley, Techstrong Research Principal Analyst, and experts from SUSE and AWS will dive into these challenges, examine strategies to address them and share informative research from the DevOps and cloud-native communities, but they need your input, too! You can help shape the discussion by bringing your war stories, tips, questions and challenges to the session. AWS and SUSE together help organizations simplify the deployment of Kubernetes everywhere. Join the discussion on application modernization, the security challenges with Kubernetes and container security, and in this session, we want to help you solve them.

Key takeaways from this session include:

• New data on cloud and Kubernetes adoption
• Overcoming app modernization roadblocks
• Container security strategies
• Achieving results while managing costs
