A new report from the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) in collaboration with Datadog, New Relic and Slashdata finds a wider range of emerging open source technologies are being deployed on top of Kubernetes.
The report, based on a global survey of 3,829 IT professionals, finds 96% of respondents are now either using or evaluating Kubernetes. Approximately 79% of respondents use some form of certified Kubernetes instance that is provided as a managed service, with Amazon Elastic Container Service for Kubernetes (39%), Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) (23%) and Azure Kubernetes Engine (17%) being the most consumed. At the same time, the CNCF reports that use of the containerd runtime as an alternative to Docker grew 500% year-over-year.
