How Kubernetes Paves the Way for Secure Innovation in Healthcare

Despite the fact that Kubernetes is still very young, a deeper look at the technology reveals how it can help healthcare organizations innovate, providing them with greater security, faster application deployment, lower costs, and scalability.

Take healthcare’s incessant need for greater development agility and continuity, for instance. Organizations face increasing pressure to innovate more quickly and be more customer-focused while simultaneously minimizing downtime and its impact.

This, in turn, eliminates the need for systems administrators to make sure security patches are run constantly, operating systems are up to date, and long-hidden malware isn’t sitting on the underlying infrastructure.

Despite the hesitation by IT leaders to implement such new technology, Kubernetes itself helps to minimize human error via automation. And because the platform is self-monitoring and self-healing, it also minimizes operational vulnerabilities.
