Chapter 1: Introducing the New Operating Model
Many think that Kubernetes won the container orchestration war because of its outstanding ability to manage containers. But Kubernetes is much more than that.

We tend to use a new tool the old way because of our tendencies. Understanding how Kubernetes disrupted IT operations is critical for not falling into these traps and achieving successful adoption. This chapter will dive deep into the significant aspects of the new operating model.
We will cover the following topics in this chapter:
- The Kubernetes journey
- Characteristics of the new operating model
- The next Kubernetes use case
