Enterprise infrastructure teams have spent the better part of a decade pushing workloads into Kubernetes. Applications, APIs, batch jobs, data pipelines — if it runs in a container, it belongs in the cluster. The operational benefits are well-established: declarative configuration, horizontal scaling, self-healing, native integration with CI/CD pipelines and observability tooling. Kubernetes has become the default operating model for production workloads.

Except for desktops.

Secure desktop and application delivery — the kind that enterprises depend on for remote work, privileged access, and regulated-industry workflows — has remained stubbornly outside the Kubernetes model. Legacy virtual desktop infrastructure was built in a different era, for a different set of assumptions: pre-allocated VM pools, bespoke management planes, proprietary appliances, and operational tooling that has nothing to do with how modern platform teams work. The result is a split infrastructure reality: a modern, cloud-native application layer on one side, and...
