VSHN.timer #168: The State of Cloud Native in 2022

Welcome to another VSHN.timer! Every Monday, 5 links related to Kubernetes, OpenShift, CI / CD, and DevOps; all stuff coming out of our own chat system, making us think, laugh, or simply work better.

This week we’re going to take a closer look at 2022 and see how technology and society are shaping our industry.

1. According to Red Hat’s 2022 State of Kubernetes Security Report, most respondents experienced a slowdown in application delivery due to unaddressed security concerns. Couple this with VMware’s State of Kubernetes 2022 Report, Cockroach Labs’ 2022 Cloud Report, and Flexera’s 2022 State of the Cloud Report for an even more complete perspective.

2. JetBrains’ State of Developer Ecosystem 2022 Report shows exciting trends, such as TypeScript becoming the fastest-growing programming language, AI/ML being the most promising technology, and Rust being the most promising programming language.

3. The State of JavaScript 2022 Report is a community-led effort, aggregating a massive 40’000 responses and showing the current trends of one of the most popular programming languages ever… as well as growing concerns and doubts about its future.

4. To better understand how tech leaders adapt to a post-pandemic, mass-layoff, mass-quitting business world, A.Team and MassChallenge published the Tech Work Report, surveying 581 tech founders and executives based in the United States. Couple this with the Kubernetes job market trends for 2022 and the 10th Annual Open Source Jobs Report by the Linux Foundation to better understand the current Cloud Native job market.

5. Cloudflare published The state of HTTP in 2022, where the biggest thing to happen was the publication of HTTP/3, an enormous step towards keeping up with the requirements of modern applications and sites by using the network more efficiently to unblock web performance.
