Containers are rapidly becoming a popular development paradigm for cloud-native applications in the industry – with Kubernetes as the dominant container orchestrations technology. The SAP Cloud Platform Kubernetes environment reduces pain points associated with the creation and management of Kubernetes clusters by offering an easy to use, secure and open standards-based Cluster-as-a-Service running on top of a variety of underlying infrastructure choices, deployment options of cloud vs. on-premise, etc. SAP is making this innovation accessible to the entire developer community via an open-source project called Gardener.
