Since our new Kubernetes survey borrows a couple of questions from Justin Garrison’s recent survey, we are highlighting one of Garrison’s findings — with the usual caveat that a web survey’s sample should not be extrapolated to the larger market. The survey found that most people (78 percent) still use configuration […]
A year ago, most users of containers were not using orchestration tools, but instead relied on custom scripts, CLIs and perhaps their configuration management solutions. Those were supposedly early adopters. Six months ago an UBM/Interop ITX report, based on a broader base of general cloud computing users, found […]
Fifty-six percent of developers surveyed for DZone’s Guide to DevOps: Continuous Delivery and Automation say environment configuration and set-up is the biggest pain point in the continuous delivery (CD) pipeline. Complained about much less often (34 percent) is coordination of team members, which is likely related to […]
Is Ansible really heads and shoulders about Puppet and Chef in the world of container orchestration? Several readers asked this question after reading our recent survey’s results. The answer is maybe, but there are reasons to believe the data. After the Red Hat’s acquisition of Ansible […]
When asked what three products respondents plan to use for container orchestration, Ansible received the second most citations, well ahead of its configuration management rivals. Orchestration-specific tools — like Kubernetes, AWS ECS, and products based on Docker Swarm or Mesos — will still be the primary orchestration tools. […]
Scheduling, cluster management, and service discovery are widely acknowledged to be part of container orchestration. However, over half of the respondents also consider provisioning and monitoring to be part of orchestration. Configuration management was the functionality least likely to be associated with container orchestration, although […]
