Portworx released findings from its survey which assesses the mass adoption and evolution of Kubernetes usage among enterprise users in the last 12 months, in addition to the impact of the pandemic on IT users' attitudes towards their jobs.

The survey found that 68 percent of IT professionals said they increased their usage of Kubernetes as a result of the pandemic, primarily to accelerate their deployment of new applications and increase their use of automation - both of which are critical to meeting customers and employees where they are today.

What's more, despite added working pressures, 52 percent of IT professionals enjoyed their jobs more than they did before, with those most familiar with Kubernetes tending to earn higher salaries.

Almost 75 percent of IT professionals confirmed the top benefit of adopting Kubernetes is the ability to deploy new apps more quickly, followed by supporting program areas that need to evolve, supporting changes in business strategy, and helping increase revenue or profits.

Sixty-four percent who were "Very knowledgeable" about their company's Kubernetes use reported their annual gross income at between $100,000 and $250,000, versus 59 percent who said they were "Knowledgeable" and 50 percent who were "Somewhat knowledgeable."

"Kubernetes adoption is continuing to grow as an essential strategy to capitalize on modern data and applications. With its easy scalability, portability, and fast iteration cycle, the technology is the most effective way to enable rapid developments and innovation," said Murli Thirumale, VP, GM Cloud Native Business Unit, Pure Storage.
