The document discusses Cisco's multi-cloud strategy and products. It introduces Cisco Container Platform (CCP) as a solution that automates deploying, running, and operating containers on physical or virtual machines. CCP is based on Kubernetes and provides integrated networking, management, security and analytics capabilities while allowing containers to run in hybrid cloud environments across VM, bare metal, Cisco HyperFlex, ACI and public clouds.

But change isn’t easy
“…I’m worried about
management and
control in multiple
environments”
“…I can’t afford to
leave my existing
infrastructure and
applications behind”
“…I feel limited
to specific
development tools
and technologies”
“…I can’t easily
develop and deploy
where I want”
“…I am concerned
about securing
everything inside and
outside my firewall”
“…I need a consistent
application experience
across all my
environments”
