A new survey from Pure Storage reveals that businesses are rapidly adopting cloud-native platforms like Kubernetes to accelerate the delivery of mission-critical applications.
The report titled "The Voice of Kubernetes Experts Report 2024: The Data Trends Driving the Future of the Enterprise" found that 80% of respondents confirmed within the next five years all or most of their new applications will be built on cloud-native platforms. It also showed 58% of organizations plan to migrate some of their virtual machine workloads to Kubernetes, with 65% planning to do so within two years.
"Experienced platform leaders are running mission-critical applications like databases, analytics, and AI/ML on Kubernetes at massive scale in hybrid and multi-cloud environments," said Murli Thirumale, VP & GM at Portworx by Pure Storage. "It's no surprise that these platform leaders are also paving the way for VMs to be managed by Kubernetes without compromising enterprise requirements."
Other key findings include 98% running data-intensive workloads on cloud-native platforms, and 96% having platform engineering teams to increase app scalability and flexibility. 63% said they are willing to invest in training to support platform engineering.
The survey was fielded among 527 IT professionals with over four years of managing data services in Kubernetes environments. It highlights how platform engineering is becoming vital as businesses modernize application development and deployment on cloud-native infrastructure.
