DoK Reports
The 2024 DoK report is out now
The 2024 Data on Kubernetes (DoK) Report has been released, revealing significant shifts in how organizations are leveraging Kubernetes beyond its traditional container orchestration role. Based on a survey of 150 technology leaders, the report shows Kubernetes is increasingly becoming foundational infrastructure for AI/ML workloads while continuing to excel at traditional data workloads.
Data on Kubernetes – Database Patterns Whitepaper
This whitepaper is a collaboration between the CNCF Storage TAG and Data on Kubernetes Community. It describes the patterns of running data on Kubernetes with a focus on database applications. It describes the attributes of a storage system and how they affect the database applications, how different storage stacks affect these attributes, what are the differences of running data inside and outside of Kubernetes, what are the characteristics of Kubernetes that are beneficial for running data on Kubernetes, and what are the best practices and lessons we have learned from running data on Kubernetes.
The 2022 DoK report
This year’s report found that running data on Kubernetes (DoK) benefits the whole organization, not just engineering. Leaders believe DoK is transformative for business growth, and the appetite for running DoK is strong.
2021 Report
In September 2021, we surveyed over 500 Kubernetes users to understand the types and volume of data-intensive workloads being deployed in Kubernetes, benefits and challenges, and the factors driving further adoption.
