Containers have become the next big thing in infrastructure software. However, in order to take full advantage of containers you need to know how to turn them into production services. This is where Kubernetes helps - as an orchestrator of your containerized applications.

Kubernetes is an exciting project that solves some important container deployment issues in really interesting ways. It is also one of the fastest growing open source projects in existence. If you aren’t familiar with Kubernetes, this introduction and tutorial is a good place to start.

At Teleport, we have our own CNCF certified distribution of Kubernetes, called Gravity, which is optimized for running many instances of cloud-native applications across a variety of infrastructure footprints. We have helped many organizations deliver their production Kubernetes clusters with the help of Gravity.

In this article, we are going to discuss some of the common challenges we’ve seen adapting existing software to run on Kubernetes.
