According to the survey, Kubernetes and cloud native technologies unlock innovation for organizations and allow them to achieve their goals.

The benefits of cloud native technologies vary, depending on their usage and the maturity of the organizations using them, with elasticity and agility, resource optimisation and reduced service costs identified as the top benefits, and security the most important consideration.

Mark Shuttleworth, CEO of Canonical, said of the increasing growth of hybrid cloud in the enterprise: "The key question is: how much of what you do every day can you do on multiple different clouds without thinking about it? For me, the sensible thing for a medium or large institution is to have a fully automated private cloud and also relationships with at least two public cloud providers. This way, businesses essentially benchmark themselves on doing any given operation on the private cloud and on the two public clouds."

Actually, as running Kubernetes is becoming more accessible, Alexis Richardson speculates that organizations would further adopt Kubernetes on bare metal if they knew it was possible.

38% of respondents suggest that security is the most important consideration, whether operating Kubernetes, building container images, or defining an edge strategy.

Combined with the fact that only 13.5% of people reported that they have "Mastered" security in the cloud native space, it is clear that organizations have some room to grow when it comes to properly adopting and managing Kubernetes in production.
