As multicloud becomes the norm in cloud-native modernization, organizations are turning to multicloud container platforms that allow them to deploy and run containerized applications. The prevalence of Kubernetes-based cloud-native offerings, customer demand for multicloud platforms to rationalize and optimize the use of IT infrastructure, and pressure to modernize applications are some factors we see driving this interest.
