Why Kubernetes isn't Ideal for Industrial Infrastructure

One of the most transformative technologies that have emerged in recent years is software containerization, which revolutionizes the way industrial companies develop, deploy, and manage their software solutions. Kubernetes is very useful for large, cloud-dependent workloads like web applications, but it is not optimal for smaller, more industrial-oriented workloads that must operate in complex, isolated environments.‍ In this article we explain why.
