Tracing Kubernetes Adoption, From Inception to the Cloud

Kubernetes has become a widely adopted platform for building cloud-native services, with its popularity growing alongside the adoption of cloud-native applications. The platform's hybrid cloud capabilities, team-friendly portability, and cost-consciousness have made it an attractive choice for developers. Since its introduction in 2014, Kubernetes has undergone significant technical upgrades, including the release of OpenAPI in 2016, which enabled API providers to automate their tools. Today, Kubernetes is used by large organizations and has become a go-to platform for building platforms, with over 2.8 million contributions to its codebase. The platform's automations make it easier for development teams to get started, and its flexibility makes scaling applications a simple process. Cloud computing continues to gain traction, while on-prem Kubernetes deployments have taken a hit year over year, according to VMware Tanzu's The State of Kubernetes 2022 report. Most Kubernetes deployments are in multicloud or hybrid clouds, and the platform's growth is thanks in part to its continued investment in software development and infrastructure efficiency.
