Kaspersky’s study reveals a rapid shift towards container development among geo-distributed companies, driven by its benefits in portability and security.
20 June 2024 – In a significant shift within the software development landscape, a recent study by Kaspersky reveals that over half of geo-distributed companies are set to adopt container development within the next 1-2 years. Containerization, which encapsulates applications and dependencies into portable, isolated environments, is touted for its ability to ensure consistency and portability across various stages of development and deployment.
The study underscores the importance of grasping container basics, such as container images and orchestration tools like Kubernetes, which facilitate efficient multi-region deployments. Security remains a critical concern, with recommendations including regular image scanning, robust monitoring, and compliance with data laws. Integrating containers into CI/CD pipelines enhances agility and deployment efficiency, particularly across diverse geographic locations. Effective resource management and cost optimization strategies are also emphasized to maximize operational efficiency and mitigate financial overheads.
Kaspersky highlights the necessity for a cultural shift towards DevSecOps practices and continuous training initiatives to support this technological evolution. Their specialized product, Kaspersky Container Security, is positioned to safeguard container environments comprehensively, ensuring secure and compliant operations amidst the transition.
