Insights from the 2026 Voice of Kubernetes Experts Report highlight a major industry shift: enterprises have moved past simply “experimenting” with Kubernetes and are now staking their core infrastructure on it. But how does this translate to real-world operations?
Register for our exclusive deep dive into the three macro-trends driving the market today. We’re stepping beyond the raw data to explore critical architectural choices, actual cost-saving strategies, and practical lessons from the field.
We will cover three key pillars from the 2026 Report:
- The New Standard for Innovation: Teams are accelerating past the trial phase, with 50% committing to a Kubernetes-first development approach. We’ll examine how this transition—driven by a 45% spike in AI/ML adoption—is fundamentally changing how businesses manage and scale critical data.
- The Modernization Mandate: Currently, 69% of enterprises are actively minimizing their VMware footprint. We’ll outline the most effective strategies for this transition, focusing heavily on migrating traditional VM workloads to KubeVirt.
- The Sovereignty Paradox: Since 100% of experts face mounting data sovereignty pressures, how can you scale globally while remaining locally compliant? We’ll discuss proven frameworks for achieving data compliance using Portworx.
