Kubernetes adoption is expanding rapidly, with 70% of organizations using it according to Red Hat's 2022 report and 96% either using or evaluating it as per CNCF's Annual Survey. However, organizations vary widely in their implementation, with some fully utilizing Kubernetes across environments and others maintaining a hybrid approach, combining Kubernetes with Docker and Docker Compose. This hybrid state often leads to increased workload due to the need for developers to maintain Docker Compose files while coordinating Kubernetes deployments with DevOps teams, causing inconsistencies in application testing. To ease the transition, tools like Kompose and Helm are available, converting Docker Compose files to Kubernetes manifests and standardizing application packaging, respectively. Despite these tools, challenges remain in fully aligning Kubernetes usage across different environments. Solutions like DevZero aim to create standardized development environments using Kubernetes artifacts, enhancing engineer efficiency by providing production-like settings for testing and reducing cloud costs with disposable, configuration-driven environments.
