Omdia Universe: Cloud Container Management & Services, 2024–25
Omdia’s 2024–25 report on Cloud Container Management & Services evaluates enterprise-ready, cloud-hosted Kubernetes-based platforms that simplify container orchestration. As Kubernetes adoption grows, its complexity poses challenges for developers, leading to a surge in managed services that provide enhanced features like observability, security, and scalability. The report highlights AWS, Microsoft, IBM, Red Hat, and Huawei as leaders, with Oracle and Google among challengers. AWS excels with EKS, ECS, Fargate, and innovations like Karpenter. However, it lacks GitOps integration and charges for data transfers across zones. The market is growing, fueled by GenAI and cloud-native development.
