Running containers is only the starting point. An application platform sits a layer above infrastructure abstraction—act as a productivity booster designed to help developers build, deliver, and operate applications at scale. In this video, Siamak Sadeghianfar breaks down why modern development requires moving beyond core Kubernetes to a complete, integrated application platform. Learn how integrating CI/CD, GitOps, security frameworks, and observability streamlines delivery across containers, virtual machines, and serverless workloads.
Key takeaways:
-Developer focus: Moving from where containers run to how applications are built and delivered.
-Integrated capabilities: Bringing CNCF projects into a single suite for security, observability, and deployment.
-Workload versatility: Supporting containers, VMs, and serverless architectures in one place.
-Platform maturity: Progressing from initial "lift and shift" containerization to automated, optimized operations.
