Kubernetes Turns 10: The Evolving Landscape of Cloud-Native Computing
May 2, 2024
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.
