KUBERNETES-DRIVEN DEVOPS: A PARADIGM SHIFT IN CLOUD-NATIVE INFRASTRUCTURE MANAGEMENT
Keywords:
Cloud-Native Architecture, Container Orchestration, DevOps Automation, Kubernetes Implementation, Infrastructure ResilienceAbstract
This article examines the transformative impact of Kubernetes on DevOps practices within cloud-native environments, focusing on the synergistic relationship between containerization and automated operations. Through systematic analysis of enterprise implementations, we investigate how Kubernetes orchestration enables dynamic scaling, self-healing infrastructure, and streamlined deployment pipelines. The article explores the evolution from traditional monolithic architectures to microservices-based systems, highlighting the role of container orchestration in achieving operational excellence. The article demonstrates that while Kubernetes adoption presents initial complexity challenges, organizations leveraging its capabilities alongside mature DevOps practices experience enhanced deployment frequency, improved resource utilization, and increased system reliability. The article also addresses critical considerations in security, performance optimization, and team collaboration, providing insights into successful cloud-native transformations. This article contributes to the understanding of modern infrastructure management practices and offers a framework for organizations pursuing cloud-native adoption through the integration of Kubernetes and DevOps methodologies.
