predicted that more than 75% of worldwide organizations would run containerized applications in production by 2022. Confidence of this prediction demonstrated the value of cloud native technologies for and security. Relying on upstream Kubernetes isn't enough for teams deploying Kubernetes into production. Basic Kubernetes installations are plagued by a lack of central visibility, inconsistent security metal and "any other provider." Cloud provider installers require administrator access to the environment to create the resources but can operate without administrative access once installation is complete
