The 2024 vCluster Community Survey highlights the need for advanced Kubernetes management approaches to combat rising cost and complexity; vCluster is particularly effective for large distributed organizations
SAN FRANCISCO: #CommunitySurvey--Loft Labs, creator of vCluster and DevPod, today announced the results of its 2024 vCluster Community Survey. The survey polled over 125 respondents to gain insights into how teams are managing containerized applications, typical use cases for Kubernetes deployments, and the evolving virtualization landscape. Results show that while proficiency in working with Kubernetes appears to be solidifying, there is an opportunity for Kubernetes users — particularly at large organizations — to reduce cloud spending and streamline operations by adopting novel approaches such as virtual clusters and multi-cloud deployments.
Loft created its flagship product, vCluster, in order to bring the next layer of virtualization to Kubernetes and make the cluster itself lightweight and ephemeral. Virtual clusters operate identically to traditional Kubernetes clusters without heavyweight platform stack components, providing enhanced efficiency and operational control. vCluster empowers teams to run multi-tenant Kubernetes architectures with minimal operational effort, because vclusters share resources from a single underlying cluster.
Since launching, Loft has created a thriving open-source community and gained over 60 paying customers whose engineers have spun up more than 40 million virtual clusters. The user survey conducted in December 2023 reflects Loft’s commitment to deeply understanding user wants and needs, and spreading awareness about the benefits of virtual clusters for organizations of all types and sizes.
“We conducted this vCluster Community Survey to more deeply understand how our users are interacting with Kubernetes; where and why they are deploying clusters; and how we can best support their needs as we continue to add new capabilities,” said Lukas Gentele, Loft Co-Founder and CEO. “Now that we know how users are utilizing clusters and how confident they feel managing them, we see that vCluster can provide tremendous value to lighten the stack and operational load, particularly for large-scale enterprises. At the same time, there is room to grow in terms of educating our user base on the benefits of Kubernetes virtualization and reaching teams who are less experienced with Kubernetes, which we are excited to do.”
Key findings from the 2024 vCluster Community Survey reveal:
By formally collecting feedback from its growing user base, Loft Labs strengthens its commitment to continuous improvement in collaboration with end-users. With over 6,200 Github stars and 40 million virtual clusters created, vCluster’s growth is a testament to the power of virtual clusters to rein in operational complexity and dynamically provision resources for maximum efficiency. As the cloud-native environments underpinning today’s most important technologies continue to expand, virtualization will become ever more critical to unlock secure Kubernetes multi-tenancy and seamless development experiences, all while reducing costs.
