The Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) Cloud Native Survey takes the pulse of the community to gain a better understanding of where and how cloud native technologies are being adopted. CNCF surveyed its extended community during May and June 2020 and received 1,324 responses.
In 2020, 92% of respondents say they use containers in production, an extraordinary 300% increase from just 23% in the first survey in March 2016. This is also up from 84% of respondents in 2019 and 73% in 2018. Again, we see steady growth in the number of containers that organizations run. Those using more than 5,000 containers hit 23% in 2020, up by 109% from the 11% we saw in 2016. 61% now use more than 250 containers, up from 57% in 2019.
91% of respondents report using Kubernetes, 83% of them in production. This continues a steady increase from 78% last year and 58% in 2018. Of those using Kubernetes, two to five remains the most common number of production clusters, with 39% reporting that quantity, down from 43% last year. There was an increase in those using more than 11 production clusters from 24% in 2019 to 28% in 2020, and a 56% increase from 2017.
