As organizations modernize their IT environments, Kubernetes has become a critical platform for driving agility, scalability, and innovation across on-premises, cloud, and edge infrastructure.
Yet successful Kubernetes adoption is about more than running containers. It's about simplifying operations, improving visibility, strengthening governance, and maintaining control as environments grow in complexity.
The Kubernetes Test Drive lets you explore what's possible in a guided, enterprise-grade environment. Tailored to your priorities and supported by our experts, it provides practical insight into real-world Kubernetes use cases, and the role Kubernetes can play in your Hybrid IT strategy, with no risk or commitment.
Every Kubernetes journey is different. Whether you're exploring containers for the first time or managing Kubernetes across hybrid environments, the Test Drive is tailored to your priorities.
You'll experience leading enterprise-grade platforms from Red Hat, SUSE, and more, that address your specific needs. Guided by our experts, you'll see how organizations address real-world challenges including governance, security, operational complexity, and hybrid IT management in an environment designed to reflect enterprise realities.

Speak to an expert
We’ll contact you to understand your specific use cases and environment.
Begin your Test Drive
Join a guided session built around your needs, with no risk or commitment.
Each Test Drive concludes with a strategic consultation, giving you tailored recommendations and clear next steps.
For enterprises further along in their Kubernetes journey, we can also extend into a Hybrid Cloud Assessment Service to optimize your existing environment.
Your Test Drive can take the form of a curated demo, a guided console session, or hands-on lab access with expert support. The format flexes from a short overview to a deeper exploration, depending on your needs and Kubernetes maturity.
Throughout, you’ll have direct access to Kubernetes experts who understand both the technology and the business challenges behind it. Every Test Drive concludes with a strategic consultation – turning what you’ve explored into tailored recommendations and clear next steps.
Whether you’re managing the complexity of hybrid environments, balancing innovation with operational stability, or ensuring compliance with evolving regulations – the Test Drive is designed to address these realities directly.
You’ll explore how to:
Discover how Kubernetes has become a key technology for modern IT environments. This white paper explains how organizations use Kubernetes to manage AI workloads, unify hybrid infrastructures, and improve resilience.
It highlights why container‑based architectures are gaining importance — enabling greater control, better cost management, and support for growing compliance requirements.
Modern Kubernetes environments don’t just run applications – they run on data. The Test Drive lets you explore how enterprise-grade tools such as NetApp Astra Control and Trident can help manage data across hybrid and multi-cloud platforms with consistency and confidence.
The Test Drive shows how Kubernetes can deliver cloud agility while keeping control of your infrastructure and data. You’ll explore consumption-based models that bring cloud-like scalability into your own data without sacrificing governance, security, or performance.
Kubernetes adoption at scale can create extreme architectural and operations challenges. The Test Drive provides best practices to help streamline architectures, align governance frameworks with agility, and control back-to-back environments.
Security and compliance are built into the architecture of the Test Drive. You’ll learn how organizations address requirements like NIST, the Cyber Resilience Act, and DORA through Kubernetes-native solutions while avoiding threats and risk exposure.
