CNCF’s End User Community comprises 140+ top companies and startups committed to accelerating cloud native technologies and improving the deployment experience.  \nThe survey drew responses from the global cloud native community, but particularly Europe and North America: 38% of respondents came from Europe, 33% from North America, 23% from Asia, and 6% from South and Central America, Africa, Australia, and Oceania.  \nTwo-thirds of respondents were from organizations with more than 100 employees, and 30% were from organizations with more than 5,000 employees, showing a strong enterprise representation.  \nThe majority of respondents (56%) came from Software/Technology organizations. Other industries represented include Financial Services (9%), Consulting (6%), and Telecommunications (5%) .  \nThe top job functions were SRE/DevOps engineer (43%), software architect (35%), and backend developer (23%) . In terms of job title, 48% were software developers/engineers, followed by manager/ director (14%) and SysAdmin (14%) .  \nThis survey was conducted in English. This report references our 2019 Cloud Native Survey report throughout.  \nGeographic Location  \nSize of Organization  \nCN CF SURV EY 2 0 2 0 2  \nCN CF SURV EY 2 0 2 0 3  \nCLOUD  \nPublic cloud remains on top, but private cloud is growing  \nFor the third year, public cloud remains the most popular data center approach. It has increased slightly in usage from last year to 64% from 62% . Private cloud or on-premise usage had the most significant increase to 52% from 45% . Hybrid decreased slightly to 36% from 38% in 2019. Multi-cloud usage was a new option this year and emerged with 26% .  \nFor the purpose of this analysis, hybrid cloud refers to the use of a combination of on-premises and public cloud.  \nMulti-cloud means using workloads across different clouds based on the type of cloud that fits the workload best. The portability that Kubernetes and cloud native tools provide makes it much simpler to switch from one public cloud vendor to another. The addition of multi-cloud as an option this year does not necessarily explain the drop in hybrid unless respondents use a different definition.  \nCODE  \nCODE  \nRelease cycles continue to speed up, but automation drops  \nSince 2018, we have asked questions on release cycles, providing insight into how organizations manage their software development cycles. For a third year, we see release cycles continuing to speed up.  \nThe percentage of those who release software daily, or even multiple times a day, has increased to 29% from 27% last year. Weekly release cycles are still the most common (26%), but more than half of respondents (55%) release weekly or more frequently.  \nSeveral factors are driving this trend. As the use of cloud native technologies grows in production, organizations build more advanced infrastructures. Also, the coronavirus pandemic has increased digital consumption, forcing organizations to adapt to keep up with demand.  \nCN CF SURV EY 2 0 2 0 4  \nHow","cbCaifP37Y9BQWC0","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaifP37Y9BQWC0","pdf",2640649,21,"English","# Key takeaways\n## Containers and Kubernetes adoption\n## Usage of cloud native tools\n## Survey methodology and respondents\n# Cloud deployment and platform trends\n## Public, private, hybrid, and multi-cloud\n## Release cycles and automation\n## Code check-in frequency and practices\n## Machine fleet size and adoption signals","[{\"question\":\"What are the main container and Kubernetes adoption results in CNCF Survey 2020?\",\"answer\":\"The survey reports that 92% of respondents use containers in production and that Kubernetes usage in production has grown to 83%.
