3. WHERE WE STARTED
• Monolithic application creates complexity,
lack of flexibility and does not allow for easy
integration of third party tools or solutions
• Plenty of customizations that makes ongoing
support costly and complex
• Older technologies that increase the ongoing
costs
• Vanishing know-how creates risk for future
plans and maintenance
• High costs of development prevent
continuous improvements
WHERE WE’RE GOING
• Micro-services architecture provides flexibility
to scope and scale
• New features or modules can be introduced
by the customer themselves
• Partner management can bring increasing
benefits by onboarding third party solutions
• New features can be added with higher
efficiency and in turn lower costs, allowing for
shorter time to market
• However, microservices come with increased
complexity in managing all resources.
The move to microservices makes our life easier

6. What
is
is
What
it
does
You can administrate applications and manage APIs via
Kubernetes Browser
5
K8S Browser automatically captures all apps and APIs
running on Kubernetes and presents comprehensive
details in one dashboard. It allows access to relevant
information on all artifacts installed on Kubernetes.
• All K8S administration is centralized, increasing
management efficiency and facilitation of information flow
• Access to Kubernetes cluster is available, so there’s no longer
need to refer to the K8S admin to access information
• Application support is improved – information on all
the applications with versioning are available from a single
access point
• Logs from all applications are accessible in the same
location and the same format, allowing easy access to and
quicker understanding of information (compared to elastic
search)

9. Kubernetes Browser is already making a difference
8
Process simplification
and promotion of
transparency via
access to information for
non-admin users​
Operational costs are
reduced by reducing the
time needed to access
and analyze information
Facilitation of
information exchange
with
technology vendors
as extraction of details is
simplified​
Product management
has an overview of
applications that are
finished
