While container and cloud technology are increasingly mature, there are still a lot of different software, staffing and architecture considerations that CTOs must address to ensure that everything runs smoothly and operates together.<\/p>\n
The Gartner “A CTO’s Guide to Navigating the Cloud Native Container Ecosystem” <\/em>report estimates that by 2028, more than 95% of global organizations will be running containerized applications in production, which is a significant increase from fewer than 50% in 2023.<\/p>\n This level of adoption means that organizations must have the right software to effectively manage, monitor and run container-based, cloud native environments. And there is a multitude of options for CTOs and enterprise architecture (EAs) leaders to sift through, which makes it hard to get environments level-set and to standardize processes.<\/p>\n “Despite the apparent progress and continued industry consolidation, the ecosystem remains fragmented and fast-paced. This makes it difficult for EAs andCTOs to build robust cloud native architectures and institute operational governance,” the authors state.<\/p>\n\n
