The Fortune 100 company's accelerated use of Kubernetes as a platform for its broader hybrid cloud/multi-cloud infrastructure reflects one of the macro trends driving the rapid adoption of Kubernetes across industries.

Another macro trend is that many companies are just getting started with Kubernetes. And no matter where a company is in its cloud journey, most IT leaders expect to see more containerized applications in production, with Kubernetes being the most common choice for this.

“ 75% of global organizations will be using containerized applications in production, up from less than 30% in 2020,” said Brian Gracely, senior director of product strategy at Red Hat. This aligns with data from Red Hat’s 2021 State of Enterprise Open Source study , in which 72% of IT leaders said they expect container adoption to grow within their organizations. Nearly all of them (85%) also see Kubernetes as key to their cloud-native application strategy.

This has cascading effects on cyprus mobile database capabilities, use cases, skills, and other areas. “As with any new technology, there’s a maturation and user education that happens,” says Gracely.

Below, we discuss five key Kubernetes trends to watch in the coming year.

Kubernetes goes hand in hand with containers. That hasn't changed and won't change in 2022. What will continue to evolve are the types of applications that teams manage with their Kubernetes-based platform.

“In the early days, users often built their own on-premise Kubernetes platforms and deployed a more simplified set of applications,” says Gracely. “But as Kubernetes has stabilized, its usage models have become much more mature.”
