Containers and container orchestration are one of the most preferred ways of 
designing and deploying cloud native workloads, be it application 
transformation based on micro services, data transformation, intelligence-based 
services, among others. One of the biggest challenges that architects and 
developers face are the governance issues around architecture, operations, 
policies and security. 

Mindtree's new InnoApp for Kubernetes service greatly simplifies the process 
for clients to launch containerized application workloads on Microsoft Azure 
Kubernetes Service. The underlying platform for InnoApp for Kubernetes provides 
ready to use, industry proven infrastructure-as-code templates to accelerate 
app modernization for enterprises.
 
Key components of the service include: 
- Scanning of application code to access cloud readiness, giving insights into 
which legacy applications can be updated. 
- Provisioning and setup of Kubernetes clusters on Azure with analytics and 
logging features, automating these processes to add more efficiency. 
- Configuration of a DevOps pipeline that simplifies app deployment and 
configuration changes. 
- Setup of governance and security policy engines to monitor applications 
running on Azure Kubernetes Service, ensuring that organizations meet 
guidelines for risk mitigation and compliance obligations.

Mindtree has also joined the Azure Kubernetes Service program. Mindtree offers 
its enterprise customers specialized expertise and experience with large-scale 
client work within the open source modernization ecosystem. The Azure 
Kubernetes Service program is also part of the new Azure Advanced 
Specialization Competencies announced at Microsoft Inspire 2019. 

"Many of our enterprise customers approach their digital transformation, 
planning and modernization for key applications in a modern, cloud-native way 
where containers are a foundation," said Manoj Karanth, Global Head of Cloud at 
Mindtree. "They're interested in the potential for orchestration engines like 
Kubernetes to help accelerate application development while handling the 
compliance and security aspects. As cloud platforms are evolving, InnoApp for 
Kubernetes provides the pathway to help clients accelerate their multi-cloud 
container strategy using the Azure platform."

Gabe Monroy, partner program manager, Azure Container Compute at Microsoft 
Corp. said, "Microsoft Azure Kubernetes Service is the next wave of application 
suite modernization and an important initiative for Microsoft. Customers look 
to Azure Kubernetes Service to help innovate current business processes, so we 
look for partners focused on digital transformation that are well-versed in all 
things Microsoft. We're pleased to see Mindtree continue with its commitment to 
providing solutions on today's latest technologies."

Clients using InnoApp for Kubernetes can take advantage of Mindtree's deep 
expertise in application modernization with its large client base. Mindtree has 
micro-service experience across several industries, including global travel, 
hospitality, insurance, manufacturing, retail and finance. 
Mindtree experts will attend the Microsoft Digital Transformation Academy

U.S. field selling and channel teams.
