Kubernetes came to prominence in 2016 when the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) picked up an open source project, originally developed at Google. Kubernetes, hosted and managed by CNCF, is becoming more popular than Mesos and Swarm container orchestration platforms. In 2017, the industry widely adopted Kubernetes as the de facto container orchestration technology.
The container orchestration market is booming, with revenues for container orchestration services growing in double digits. The report covers the following major tools and platforms shaping very competitive container orchestration market landscape:
Amazon ECS
Azure Container Service (ACS)
Cloud Foundry’s Diego
CoreOS Fleet
Docker Swarm
Google Container Engine
Kubernetes
Mesosphere Marathon
and more
The report provides year-by-year forecasts for services, planning, transition, training and middleware market segments as well as market shares for two methods of orchestration:
- Traditional: IFFT, “if then, then that”, based on imperative and flow-based orchestration;
- Declarative orchestration: defined by the target state.
The report also provides year-by-year forecasts for by functionality segments representing typical needs of containerized applications:
- Container replication
- Container auto-scaling
- Managing multiple containers as one entity
- Container placement
- Container health monitoring
- Networking
- Load balancing
- Service discovery
- Update Management
- Resource usage monitoring (CPU and RAM)
- Volume management
