The Kubernetes Gap: Adoption’s Up, But Integration’s Fragmented
Kubernetes adoption is booming in enterprises, with 93% of organizations either using or evaluating it, yet mainstream adoption hinges on cross-functional collaboration and foundational education. Despite strong momentum from DevOps and platform teams, broader use depends on training security and networking teams and integrating Kubernetes more deeply into enterprise systems.

Kubernetes is well on its way to becoming mainstream, driven by modern application development processes, the rise of generative Artificial Intelligence development and deployment, and benefits such as flexibility and scalability. Within organizations, however, Platform and DevOps teams have spearheaded migration and adoption, existing on their own “island” separate from others on the technology team, such as the security and networking practitioners. To streamline and simplify the adoption of Kubernetes, tighter integration and buy-in from the broader technology team are necessary.
Engineers are working to ease adoption, helping Kubernetes evolve from a niche tool to a standard enterprise platform.
