From tool to task

Kubernetes: where does it help?

Orchestrate container workloads and their operations.

The technology is one part of the working environment. What matters is the task it should support and who owns the result and operations.

From tool to assignment

What you can work on with Kubernetes

Tool knowledge alone does not define an assignment. These examples connect the working environment with a specific task and relevant expertise.
