Summary

In this chapter, we looked at the future of Kubernetes, and it looks great! The technical foundation, the community, the broad support, and the momentum are all very impressive. Kubernetes is still young, but the pace of innovation and stabilization is very encouraging. The modularization and extensibility principles of Kubernetes let it become the universal foundation for modern cloud-native applications.

At this point, you should have a clear idea of where Kubernetes is right now and where it's going from here. You should be confident that Kubernetes is not just here to stay, but that it will be the leading container orchestration platform for many years to come. It will be able to integrate with any major offering and environment you can possibly imagine, from planet-scale public cloud platforms, private clouds, data centers, and edge locations and all the way down to your development laptop and Raspberry Pi.

That's it! This is the end of this book.
