Introduction Kubernetes, celebrating its 10th anniversary, has become the cornerstone of container orchestration. A new “Voice of Kubernetes Experts” report reveals that by 2029, more than 95% of global organizations will run containerized applications, up from less than 50% in 2023.
Organizations are increasingly turning to cloud native platforms, with 80% planning to build most new applications on these platforms within five years. This shift underscores the advantages of scalability, flexibility, and agility that cloud native environments offer.
Hybrid cloud deployments are favored by 86% of organizations due to cost savings, application portability, and enhanced resilience. Kubernetes plays a vital role in enabling these benefits, allowing seamless operations across on-premises and cloud environments.
Managing Kubernetes environments is complex, particularly with Day 0 and Day 2 operations. A robust container data management solution is essential for automating, protecting, and unifying applications, ultimately enhancing developer productivity and reducing the operational burden.
The report highlights the critical role of Kubernetes and cloud native platforms in the future of enterprise IT. As organizations double down on these technologies, those prepared to manage the complexities will gain a competitive edge.
