#24 - Kubernetes: From running containers to a Cloud Native OS (with Chris van Sluijsveld)

In this episode, Geert and Rene explore the complexities of becoming cloud-native, addressing why companies are drawn to Kubernetes and whether it’s always the right solution. They discuss the origins of Kubernetes, its evolution into a standard for container orchestration, and its role as the “OS for the cloud.” Joined by cloud-native consultant Chris van Sluijsveld from Xebia, they unpack the considerations for adopting cloud-native practices, from containerization to hosting models, and highlight the importance of aligning technology with people and processes.
