SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Volterra, an innovator in distributed cloud services, today announced the results of a new survey on cloud-native app, Kubernetes and microservices adoption. Conducted by Propeller Insights, the survey found that while most organizations today are using cloud-native apps, Kubernetes and microservices, they struggle to secure and connect the complex environments resulting from them. Respondents indicated that cloud-native apps and Kubernetes deployments are particularly difficult to secure and connect because of the growing number of APIs and microservices they incorporate, which make them more distributed and harder to protect. Cloud-native is no longer just a bold new idea for most organizations, its a reality. Enterprises have increasingly adopted cloud-native apps over the past couple years to achieve faster development cycles, greater scalability and less vendor lock-in. But their DevOps and NetOps teams are facing some serious security and networking hurdles they just didnt anticipate, said Mark Weiner, CMO, Volterra. Cloud-native apps rely heavily on a microservices architecture and use far more APIs than traditional monolithic apps, including deeply embedded and hidden APIs. This increase in microservices and APIs makes modern apps far more complex to secure and connect. As a result, organizations are really struggling to get the agility and scalability they expected from their cloud-native environment and investment. Key findings include: As the modern app environment has changed, the challenges have changed too. Cloud-native apps involve lots of complex moving parts namely APIs and microservices, as well as containers that cause significant security and networking challenges, which most organizations are not equipped to overcome, said Weiner. The only way to solve the problems associated with modern cloud-native apps is with equally cloud-native infrastructure. A distributed cloud platform is the best option to provide that modern infrastructure. The right platform should provide a comprehensive security and networking stack that includes all the tools needed for deploying, connecting and protecting these apps, enabling organizations to support even their most critical business apps in a cloud-native environment. The full findings of the report can be found here. Methodology The survey polled over 300 IT decision makers across the U.S. Overall, 83% of respondents work at mid-market sized companies that employ between 500-5,000 staff, while the remaining 17% work at large enterprises with over 5,000 employees. The vast majority of respondents (89%) work in DevOps, infrastructure and operations (I&O) or as part of an application team.

Answer: Most Organizations Are Adopting Cloud-Native Apps, Kubernetes and Microservices but Struggle With Security and Operational Challenges, New Survey Shows Nearly 9 in 10 organizations are using cloud-native apps; but due to security and networking issues, only 10% run half or more business apps on Kubernetes and only 12% run a quarter or more based on microservices.
