5. K8s' Impact On Other...

Development teams continue to struggle with some aspects of Kubernetes. While they love the scalability, high availability, and fault tolerance it offers, many developers find that setting up, configuring, and managing Kubernetes is time consuming and resource intensive. The latest survey shows some areas where more than half of respondents believe Kubernetes has improved things for devs (CI/CD, deployment in general, auto scaling, and building microservices). There are other areas where it hasn’t helped, however. More than half of respondents shared that K8s had neither improved nor worsened architectural refactoring, security, application modularity, and overall system design. In some areas, notably cost (25%), architectural refactoring (15%), and security (13%), developers think Kubernetes has actually made things worse.
