Kubernetes has emerged as the de facto standard for deploying and managing applications that scale from a handful of users to millions, becoming a cornerstone of the modern cloud-native ecosystem. It makes highly scalable and resilient infrastructures possible when paired with cloud computing. However, Kubernetes adoption remains hindered by two major obstacles: a steep learning curve, particularly for small or non-specialized teams, and the persistent issue of vendor lock-in within cloud platforms. Vendor-specific technologies, proprietary APIs, and economic constraints often limit portability and complicate multi-cloud strategies, creating barriers to innovation and flexibility. This thesis looks into the difficulties of Kubernetes adoption and explores solutions for simplifying cluster provisioning and management.
