Most container platform problems are not technology problems. They are maturity problems. This assessment helps you understand where you are, what level you need to reach, and what the gap actually costs you.

Why run this assessment
These are indicators of a maturity gap
If any of the following sound familiar, your organization has a container maturity gap. The assessment will tell you where it is and how to close it.
Frequent application or platform outages
Extended outages when they occur
Outages blamed on the technology rather than the operational model
Fear to perform required platform upgrades due to unknown impact
Unknown or unmanaged security posture across the platform
Unpredictable application performance
Engineers spending most of their time learning rather than delivering
A large proportion of engineering time spent fixing unexpected issues rather than running the platform
Projects taking substantially longer than expected to implement
Technical misunderstandings in the team (for example: assuming Kubernetes namespaces provide network isolation between applications, they don't)
Monitoring tool costs spiralling due to poorly optimized logging and alerting configurations
Container or host sprawl leading to unconstrained resource costs
Engineers wanting to automate everything before the platform is stable enough to support it
Disengagement between development and operations teams
No centralized management of decentralized container platforms
No central visibility into the security or governance posture of the environment
What the assessment covers
Four dimensions of container readiness
Container platform success depends on four things moving together. Strength in one area does not compensate for a gap in another.
01
Personal Readiness
The technical skills your team actually has for operating container platforms, from basic Linux and Docker through to advanced Kubernetes and GitOps. Both theoretical and applied knowledge count.
02
Organizational Readiness
How your IT structure supports containerization in practice. Traditional IT operations, champion-based adoption, DevOps, platform engineering, and SRE each represent a different maturity level.
03
Application Readiness
Whether your application portfolio can actually run in containers. Not all applications are immediately compatible, and the type of application determines the level of platform maturity required.
04
Technology Readiness
The tooling and platform infrastructure you have deployed. From traditional IT monitoring through to a full Containers as a Service platform, tooling maturity must keep pace with operational demands.
The assessment takes around 10 minutes.
Questions adapt based on your answers. If your team has advanced Kubernetes knowledge, the tool skips the basics. If you answer no to a foundational question, the follow-up questions for that area disappear. You only answer what is relevant to your situation.

Final step
What level of maturity does your business actually need?
Be realistic. Targeting too high too soon leads to over-investment ahead of business need, which has its own costs.
Select your required maturity level to continue.
