10 Cool DevOps Tools To Know About In 2018

Source – crn.com The rapid adoption of cloud has ushered in a paradigm shift in how software is developed, packaged, deployed, updated and terminated. For starters, the multi-cloud world has created powerful use cases for containers, which offer unique application portability. Then come technologies, like Kubernetes, that orchestrate and manage those containers up the stack. Developers are now leveraging container technologies to build cloud-native software with service-oriented architectures, where applications are broken into micro-services more adept at rapidly scaling to handle massive loads.
