Survey Surfaces Mass Migration To Cloud-Native Applications
Cloud Native Now, Friday, February 7th, 2025
A survey of 1,500 IT, DevOps and platform engineering decision-makers published today finds nearly all (98%) of respondents are working for organizations that have encapsulated some of their applications in containers, with more than half (54%) reporting that all their applications are based on containers.
Only 27% said that they were only using those platforms to build and deploy new applications.
Conducted by the market research firm Vanson Bourne on behalf of Nutanix, the survey, however, also finds 81% of respondents feel the IT infrastructure relied on to run those applications requires improvement. Nearly all respondents are already using Kubernetes to run container applications, with 78% using more than two or more different distributions.
Not surprisingly, nearly two-thirds (64%) also noted that cloud-native and container application development remains challenging, and well over a third (36%) admit their IT teams still may not have all the skills required.
