More than half of IT professionals plan to migrate or
modernize some of their VM workloads to Kubernetes
SANTA CLARA, Calif.,
June 4, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Pure
Storage® (NYSE:PSTG), the IT pioneer that delivers the
world's most advanced data storage technology and services, in
partnership with Dimensional Research, released a new data report
addressing the rapid adoption of cloud-native platforms to speed
application delivery and fuel enterprise innovation.
The new report, "The Voice of Kubernetes Experts Report 2024:
The Data Trends Driving the Future of the Enterprise," explores the
top priorities and trends in the cloud-native landscape, including
modern virtualization, cloud-native database and AI/ML adoption
using Kubernetes, and the rise of platform engineering. The report
surfaces proven best practices from advanced platform leaders,
serving as a roadmap for enterprises seeking to scale Kubernetes
initiatives.
Survey Highlights:
The survey, representing mature and advanced platform leaders,
was fielded among 527 IT
professionals1 with more than four years
of experience directly managing data services in a Kubernetes
environment. Key findings:
- Majority of New Applications Will Be Built in Cloud-Native
Platforms: Over the next five years, 80% of respondents
confirmed that all or most of their new applications will be built
in cloud-native platforms. For their cloud-native technology, they
prefer the flexibility of deploying in hybrid cloud environments,
with 86% confirming they run their cloud-native technology across
both public and private clouds.
- Traditional VM Infrastructure is at an Inflection Point:
More than half (58%) of organizations plan to migrate some of their
VM workloads to Kubernetes, with 65% planning to migrate VM
workloads within the next two years.
- Data on Kubernetes Accelerates Application Delivery:
Nearly all (98%) of respondents run data-intensive workloads on
cloud-native platforms, with critical apps like databases (72%),
analytics (67%), and AI/ML workloads (54%) being built on
Kubernetes.
- Platform Engineering is Vital for Cloud-Native Success:
Ninety-six percent (96%) of respondents state they already have
platform engineering teams to increase the scalability and
flexibility of their apps. Executives have shown willingness to
invest in training (63%), consultants (60%), and hiring skilled
engineers (52%) to support this function.
Industry Significance:
The rise of cloud-native platforms marks a fundamental shift in
how businesses conceptualize, develop, and deploy applications at
scale. Recognizing the benefits, organizations are migrating their
VMs to cloud-native platforms to drive enhanced scalability,
flexibility, and operational simplicity - all while reducing
overall costs.
Amid this transformation, Kubernetes has matured from an
emerging technology to a cornerstone for modern applications over
the past decade, supporting the most data intensive workloads that
fuel enterprise innovation - from real-time analytics to AI and
machine learning to databases, and more. This shift has elevated
the role of platform engineering, responsible for managing the
infrastructure that enables efficient application development,
deployment, and management within containerized environments.
Executive Insight:
- "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. It's no
surprise that these platform leaders are also paving the way for
VMs to be managed by Kubernetes without compromising enterprise
requirements, supported by solutions like Red Hat OpenShift and
Portworx. The latest findings underscore the urgency of elevating
the platform engineering role to manage infrastructure alongside
the application stack for seamless innovation." –
Murli Thirumale, VP & GM,
Portworx by Pure Storage
- "The latest Portworx by Pure Storage data findings confirm what
we've seen across industries: cloud-native strategies are becoming
more prominent with organizations now focusing on operationalizing
cloud-native environments with data, security, sustainability and
cost considerations. The advancements in cloud-native stacks and
platform engineering is facilitating faster development and a
balanced co-existence of VMs and containers. While migrating
VM-based applications to Kubernetes remains challenging, robust
data services and container platforms are making it possible,
enabling accelerated development, seamless management, automation,
and optimized IT infrastructure." – Archana Venkatraman, Senior Research Director,
Cloud Data Management, IDC
