Kubernetes technology dominates 92% of the global market share for container orchestration tools used by businesses, and its adoption is expected to continue in 2024, with a focus on improving developer experience and scalability. Platform engineering has emerged as a pivotal trend, focusing on creating internal development platforms that act as bridges between traditional development and operations teams. The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) within Kubernetes environments is transforming how organizations handle complex workloads, making it an ideal platform for deploying and scaling AI/ML workloads. Cloud-native infrastructure is becoming a de facto standard for software deployment models, with a focus on modernizing legacy infrastructure and optimizing workloads. WebAssembly is gaining traction as a portable compilation target for high-level programming languages, promising performance gains and greater portability. Increased security measures are also expected to be a major trend in 2024, with a focus on Zero Trust security models and cost management becoming a high priority due to the ongoing recovery from massive layoffs and cutbacks by many tech companies in 2022 and 2023.
