Kubernetes Turns 10: The Evolving Landscape of Cloud-Native Computing
  • Kubernetes has reached its 10-year milestone and remains integral to application scaling, with ongoing migrations by large teams and companies.

  • Big cloud hosts Amazon, Google, and Microsoft have significantly contributed to cloud-native computing, but a shift towards traditional hosting is emerging.

  • Broadcom's acquisition of VMWare has created new opportunities for smaller hosting services and data-sensitive enterprises.

  • WebAssembly (WASM) is rising as a notable alternative to containers, with potential to distribute workloads more widely across devices and browsers.

  • The complexity of Kubernetes has spurred the growth of platform teams and SaaS companies that develop internal developer platforms and self-serve tools.

  • Infrastructure as code tools, such as Terraform, have been contentious, prompting the creation of alternatives like 'OpenTofu'.

  • Future cloud-native advancements may blend infrastructure abstraction with AI for smarter, need-specific developer platforms.

  • Despite evolving technologies and practices, Kubernetes is anticipated to remain a fundamental part of tech infrastructure for many years.
