## AI overview

This commentary argues that Kubernetes has evolved from a container orchestration solution into a foundational cloud operating layer. It discusses Kubernetes for microservices, hybrid and multi-cloud environments, continuous delivery, AI and big-data workloads, autonomous operations, and platform engineering.

## Source excerpt

Software delivery has subtly passed a threshold point. What started out as a solution for container orchestration has progressed to become much more significant than that. The rise of Kubernetes - the open-source platform is not only orchestrating workloads but becoming the very layer of the operating system of the cloud. For businesses, this change [...]
