Security News > 2022 > August > Organizations grew to love Kubernetes: Usage in production is high

Kubernetes is delivering business value and is set to win an increasing share of production workloads, with almost all respondents to a Dimensional Research study saying they plan to scale and diversify their Kubernetes infrastructures in some way in the coming year.

With growth comes increased complexity, and already those respondents that have the most extensive use of Kubernetes - with more clusters and more distributions, across more environments such as edge and with more software elements in their 'stack' such as monitoring, security, ingress or service mesh - are experiencing more significant challenges.

Kubernetes usage in production is high and growing as organizations see the benefits of Kubernetes.

Sixty percent of respondents said Kubernetes was their preferred or only way to deploy new production applications, with 43% of all workloads already in K8s today.

Eighty-nine percent already use more than one Kubernetes distribution in production and 76% have more than five distinct software elements in their Kubernetes infrastructure stack.

Only 34% of organizations use a commercial solution to manage their Kubernetes environments, but a further 53% are planning or considering adopting one of these platforms.
