Kubernetes is certainly evolving, but it will be some time before organizations deploy and run applications seamlessly in cloud native environments without today’s associated challenges of its adoption and maintenance. Amazon Web Services (AWS), of course, is both an early proponent of Kubernetes and a leading provider of cloud native services and support, and has thus been implicitly involved with its changes over the past few years.

In this The New Stack Makers podcast, AWS’ Bob Wise, general manager of Kubernetes, and Peder Ulander, head of product marketing for enterprise, developer and open source initiatives, described AWS’ role in Kubernetes and how cloud native plays into the company’s open source strategy. They also discussed how Kubernetes is evolving in the market, including in terms of how customer needs are changing, and why open source technologies are critical to fill in gaps in order for cloud native to realize its full potential.

Alex Williams, founder and publisher of the New Stack, hosted this episode.
