"Kubernetes is the default platform for cloud-native applications, but managing Kubernetes at scale isn't trivial. New tools like Headlamp aim to reduce the overhead that comes with managing and deploying Kubernetes applications, but it is still easy to make mistakes and cause significant downtime. A recent survey from Komodor of enterprise Kubernetes usage showed that 79% of incidents in running environments are caused by system changes. On top of that, these outages take close to an hour to detect and resolve."
"Microsoft calls these complexities "the Kubernetes tax": the overhead that comes with running a platform built around a complex set of moving parts. On one hand, there's an orchestrator that manages containers; on the other, a set of monitoring and observability tools; on yet another, the combination of operators and service mesh components that control networking and security. To get the most from Kubernetes, you need to be an expert or at least employ one."
Kubernetes is the default platform for cloud-native applications, but managing Kubernetes at scale is complex and error-prone. System changes cause 79% of incidents in enterprise Kubernetes environments, and outages take close to an hour to detect and resolve. Major downtime can cost about $1 million per hour, and outages erode customer goodwill. Microsoft calls the operational overhead the "Kubernetes tax", encompassing orchestrators, monitoring, operators, service mesh, networking, and security. Options to reduce that tax include managed platforms like Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) or fully managed execution with Azure Container Instances (ACI). AKS Automatic offers a middle ground simplifying operations for teams without deep Kubernetes expertise.
