Kubernetes Growth: Why The Future Is Bright for Container Management

Container Management is a fast-growing subcategory of DevOps software. According to Allied Market Research the Kubernetes market is expected to grow from 181mm in 2020 to 766mm by 2024. Why is that? Because the adoption of containers has grown tremendously over the past few years and will continue to do so. Kubernetes is one of the leading container management platforms in production today, in large part because it’s open source and can be used on any infrastructure platform. In this blog post, we’ll talk about how Kubernetes has made it easier for businesses to adopt containers and why we believe the future of Kubernetes is bright.

What is Kubernetes?

Kubernetes is an open source container management platform designed to automate deploying, scaling, and managing containerized applications. Kubernetes was originally designed by Google and is now used by companies of all sizes, including eBay, Pepsi, Sony, and Boeing. Container management provides a scalable, consistent environment for deploying and executing applications. Containers allow applications to run on any environment without modification, making them universally deployable. Containers are lightweight and resource-efficient, allowing them to be easily deployed in large numbers.

Why is Kubernetes so popular?

One of the reasons Kubernetes has grown so quickly is that it is open source and can be used on any infrastructure platform. This means companies can use Kubernetes regardless of their infrastructure. Kubernetes also offers a rich set of APIs that make it easy to integrate with other software, like CI/CD tools. Kubernetes also has a vibrant and growing community, which makes it easier for businesses to find support and assistance. Kubernetes was designed with DevOps in mind. As businesses have increasingly adopted DevOps practices, they’ve encountered challenges that Kubernetes addresses. In particular, Kubernetes has made it easier for businesses to adopt containers. Kubernetes recruiting company, Razoroo, says that market interest is growing far more quickly than the pace of talent can keep up.

The bright future of Kubernetes

As container adoption continues to grow, so will Kubernetes. Kubernetes has been used in production for several years, which means the platform has been battle-tested and proven to be scalable and reliable. As new features are added to extend Kubernetes even further, the platform will only become more valuable. Kubernetes is also branching out into new use cases, like serverless and big data, which will help expand the platform’s reach even further. We expect to see Kubernetes expand its user base even further over the next few years as more companies adopt containers. Kubernetes is also growing geographically. The platform is currently used in different parts of the world, but it is expected to grow in new regions and countries in the near future.

What’s next for Kubernetes?

As Kubernetes continues to grow and expand its use cases, there are likely to be new features designed to make the platform even easier to use. There may also be additional add-ons designed to make Kubernetes even more versatile. We also expect to see Kubernetes expand into new areas of the technology landscape. The Kubernetes open source project is governed by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (or CNCF). The CNCF is a non-profit organization that oversees Kubernetes and other open source projects designed to run on modern cloud and edge computing architectures.

Container Management Lessons

As the adoption of container technology increases, the need for container management software will grow with it. Companies will need a way to deploy, scale, and manage their containers, so they can focus on building their applications. That’s why it makes sense that the Kubernetes market is expected to grow. CIOs and IT leaders should understand that container management will be crucial for businesses in the future. Without effective container management, businesses will struggle to effectively utilize containers for applications.

More to Come

Container adoption is on the rise, and businesses are increasingly turning to Kubernetes to manage their containers. Kubernetes was designed with DevOps practices in mind and has been battle-tested and proven to be scalable and reliable. Kubernetes has also been expanding geographically, and new features and add-ons are likely to be added in the near future.
