In the ever-evolving landscape of cloud computing, Kubernetes is a cornerstone technology for container orchestration. As organizations increasingly use Kubernetes, assessing K8s maturity in this complex ecosystem is a critical way to understand where your organization is now and how (and why) to move to the next stage. Understanding your Kubernetes maturity can help determine whether or when it makes sense to consider a Managed Kubernetes-as-a-Service provider.

Since Kubernetes turns ten this year, I spent some time reflecting on how Kubernetes completely redefined my career. Eight years ago, I was racking servers, running Puppet (poorly), and struggling to make our service highly available using Corosync, Pacemaker, and HAProxy. Rotating certificates was a nightmare process every year and managing DNS zones manually with Bind9 was awful. (Just a note that these technologies have all continued to develop; my comments apply to my experience in 2016.) Were there other tools and methods that could have made my life better back then? Probably. Did I inherit a lot of technical debt that could have been handled better? Definitely. What we really needed was a change in how we managed large-scale workloads.
