Gartner® Magic Quadrant and Critical Capabilities for Container Management

Why this matters now

This recognition comes as the importance of container management continues to grow. According to Gartner, “by 2028, 95% of new AI deployments will use Kubernetes, up from less than 30% today”. As organizations accelerate their digital transformation, Kubernetes is becoming the foundation for modern applications and AI-driven workloads. And Kubermatic is at the forefront of this movement, allowing enterprises to unlock the full potential of Kubernetes.

Big trends shaping this space:

Cloud sovereignty is becoming critical

In a changing geopolitical landscape, the need for data control and regulatory compliance has become a strategic imperative. Adopting a sovereign-capable infrastructure strategy is key. Kubermatic stands out with KubeV, which allows companies to build their own private cloud, ensuring they have full control over their IT deployments.

Open source matters more than ever

The Importance of Open-Source Strategies is huge, and enterprises need to prioritize open-core platforms to avoid vendor lock-in. Kubermatic’s open-core approach with KKP and active contributions to CNCF make this possible.

Looking Ahead
