Organizations may choose to deploy their apps in Kubernetes containers for scalability, flexibility, and the ability to burst to cloud—all from open-source software. Kubernetes containers are also more lightweight than VMs, which could allow you to get more out of your server hardware resources. Especially with the increased traffic you may be seeing, better server performance could translate to enabling more customers to interact with each aspect of your business’ site without a slower experience or errors.
