The great shift to the cloud has often “clouded” the critical role that on-premises infrastructure and more specifically bare metal servers can play in the cloud native world.
It may seem, for example, that organizations in traditional industries that still maintain many of their IT resources on legacy infrastructure and in traditional data center environments have not been able to keep up with more agile cloud-only startups. However, this assumption remains far from the truth. For many applications and deployments, bare metal server management is a requirement for deploying on and managing a range of Kubernetes environments. These might include edge computing and database-centric computing, for example.
The 2021 Cloud Native Landscape

Interest and adoption of cloud native is growing enormously, and more businesses are turning to cloud native to accelerate their digital transformation journeys. However, as cloud native tools become more central to the running of these businesses, new security threats are emerging, and security becomes ever more important. It’s a fast-paced environment, and businesses adopting a cloud native approach need to keep on top of these emerging trends.
Increased Risk and More Sophisticated Attacks
As with many technologies, with increased usage comes increased risk. In this case, increased risk of more sophisticated attacks, particularly those aimed at the supply chain.

Among the key lessons state and local government IT leaders can take away from a year of living in a world changed by the pandemic are that digital transformation in government is possible and there is no going back to a pre-pandemic environment.
Citizens are expecting and demanding that government services be modern, digital and accessible. When physical offices shut down last year, many agencies were forced to grapple with the fact that paper-based services needed to go online. Agencies also needed to find ways to ensure government services as mundane as building inspections could be conducted remotely, digitally and safely.
