Lawrence started working with The New Stack in 2015. He was the research director for several ebooks about containers, Kubernetes and the cloud-native ecosystem.
He highlighted a chart and findings from industry research in The New Stack’s weekly newsletter. This sampling of the over 400 articles and reports he has written.
How does The New Stack study compare to the recently published Cloud Foundry and ClusterHQ surveys, regarding what they’ve found in container adoption?

This year, we conducted a new survey where both end users and vendors were asked about container orchestration. The results do nothing to say that Docker has lost its centrality, but rather that Kubernetes has arrived.
Production users of containers overwhelmingly think of Docker as a packaging format. Docker the company thinks it is much more. The chart is from a JFrog survey and was completed by many Artifactory users, which means they understand the roles package and repository managers play. Along with […]
IT pros are of mixed minds about CLIs. They know CLIs inhibit network automation, but they appreciate the agility they can provide. Based on an ESG survey of IT pros, the main benefit of network automation, cited by 20 percent of respondents, is that configurations become […]
What is CaaS and how is it related to PaaS? TNS contributor Janakiram MSV continues to write about it in Forbes, but the chart comes from our ebook and frames the debate. Many of our readers have seen the results and question the inclusion of build/deploy […]
By 2020, half of all IT spending at large enterprises with digital business aspirations will occur at the business-unit level.
