Speed Portability
Simplification of Deployment
Container Adoption Strategies
• Go after low-hanging fruit• Update build and deploy processes
• Go “container first”• Standardize base images

Q: In 2 years, how do you plan to primarily address the functionality and needs within each category of the container ecosystem? n=47.Source: The New Stack Container Survey, completed May 2015
Technical Issues Drive Demand
“Complexity in getting from dev to production efficiently. Existing alternatives are complex and constraining… large management overhead.”
“Challenges dealing with security and compliance in public, private, hybrid and multi-cloud environments, including gaining visibility into the security state of containers and microservices.”
20Q. What are the technical issues that drive a customer to use your product or service? The quotes included on this page were curated from all 42 responses.
Cont’d: Technical Issues Drive Demand
“The need to modernize infrastructure in order to capitalize on the business opportunity driven by the emergence of container-dependent technologies in the cloud services marketplace.”
“Docker/containers in production (at scale) is a lot of work and hassle; pain of handling servers/clusters at scale; technical overhead for server operations; moving to microservices architectures comes with a lot of hurdles.
21Q. What are the technical issues that drive a customer to use your product or service? The quotes included on this page were curated from all 42 responses.
“Want to use containers in production while changing as little else as possible.”
“Managing their own continuous delivery platform is a distraction from working on their product. Furthermore a scalable CD infrastructure that grows with your team is a lot of work. They much rather have somebody else take care of scalability, security and maintenance.”
