Today’s thought leaders often say, “All companies are software companies.” This is because a broad range of large and mid-size enterprises have undertaken digital transformation initiatives in the past decade, and these initiatives have had a profound impact on the way these companies develop and deploy software to deliver business value.

Today, the new application model leverages microservices, containerization, and continuous delivery, resulting in a high volume of small releases to Kubernetes, VM, and multi-cloud environments.
