Overview:
Thinking about containers but unsure where to start? You’re not alone. Most IT leaders know containers are main stream today, but without a clear strategy, container projects stall, sprawl, or spiral in cost.
In this webinar, we’ll walk you through how to approach container adoption the right way: with a plan. You’ll learn how Crossvale’s Container First Assessment (CFA) helps organizations avoid costly missteps, identify which applications and infrastructure are container-ready, and design a roadmap tailored to your environment, goals, and budget.
What You’ll Learn:
- Why VMs are slowing your digital transformation—and what containers unlock
- What goes wrong when teams jump into Kubernetes without a plan
- The 5 core components of a successful container strategy
- How the Container First Assessment creates clarity in 2 weeks
- Real-world case study: From confusion to production-ready in 90 days
