I’m busy looking through a microscope, profiling what production container users, their orchestration tools and the size of their deployments. In my excitement, I realized that adoption of containers might have stalled.
In February 2016, we reported on several surveys showing that adoption of containers had increased, and we speculated that production use would increase. That is still true, but it appears that many organizations are in a holding pattern, waiting to adopt containers to see how the first wave of production container use works out.
If the “later majority” only needs to hear good reviews based on production use, then perhaps the percentage of companies using containers will increase soon. In reality, we believe that the number of large scale deployments integrated into a modern develop/deploy pipeline are approaching that tipping point, but not there yet.
