Obstacles of Migrating from VM to Kubernetes

High Costs

Cloud virtual machine costs can be a significant expense for enterprises, especially when they are not properly managed, attributed to unused resources, overprovisioning, and inefficient usage.

Difficult to Scale Elastically

VM can't expand resources within a few seconds during peak business hours. For example, McDonald's may need 10,000 servers during mealtime, but only 100 servers for non-meal time.

Delivery Not Agile Enough

Using VM to deploy applications, product upgrades, and releases is not as fast as K8S. The speed of using virtual machines to release, upgrade and deliver applications can't meet the needs of rapid product iteration.

“To fix the problem of inconvenient service management and costly R&D investment, when designing our software architecture, we introduced APISIX as our API gateway and built multiple clusters. APISIX's dynamic performance with etcd aligns most with Beeto's product requirements.”

Xu Zhao,

Infrastructure Architect at vivo


“Since the middle of 2021, vivo has officially used APISIX to replace the traditional NGINX solution in the production environment. APISIX performs surprisingly well in its practice in production scenarios. We love its high availability, high performance, and rich functionality, allowing us to build and grow our business in a cloud-native way.”
