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 […]
Infrastructure code needs the same best practices used with application code, but as Dawn Foster told TNS readers, buggy software is foiling dreams of infrastructure-as-code. A recent survey by Justin Garrison, a systems engineer at Walt Disney Animation Studios, sheds light on how often continuous delivery and unit testing […]
Some people think OpenStack is facing an existential crisis. The OpenStack Foundation’s latest User Survey reported its lowest Net Promoter Score (NPS) in two years. Many sessions at the upcoming OpenStack Summit in Boston will focus on the latest open source darling, Kubernetes. This does not mean OpenStack […]
In less than a year, the percentage of container users running containers on Windows hosts has risen from 9 percent to 29 percent. Portworx’s 2017 survey cleverly used a few identical questions from a ClusterHQ/DevOps.com survey we wrote about in 2016. The huge rise in adoption is too big […]
Once again we are seeing a Kubernetes trend mirror a Docker trend. Both technologies started with many more job postings mentioning the keyword Kubernetes or Docker as compared to job seekers looking for those terms. Yet, they also follow a similar pattern where they approach a one-to-one ratio. […]
Conventional wisdom over the last few months is that although Kubernetes became the leading choice for container orchestration, Docker Swarm (or Swarmkit) still enjoys an advantage among developers. Survey data from Anchore — analyzed by Red Monk — turns that thinking on its head. Almost twice as many […]
Last week we estimated that development costs for the Kubernetes ecosystem were over $120 million. Many people saw this as a bargain, while others questioned the underlying methodology. For example, using lines of code is by general consensus a flawed metric. Multiple readers also asked about the […]
Kubernetes has the second most contributors reviewing code on GitHub, and in many other GitHub and social media metrics outperforms Docker and other container rivals. While some metrics are fluff, the number of contributors is a very useful indicator. Everyone knows it indicates how strong a community […]
