The increased use of containers will boost adoption and will notably drive the market growth. With the emergence of multiple platforms and OSes, organizations are looking for consistency in the application development environments. Containers and microservices are emerging as an alternative solution to virtual machines (VMs) that consume higher resources. Containers have their dedicated CPUs and memory, such as VMs, but they share the kernel of the OS. As a result, containers do not need a guest OS or a hypervisor, which makes them lighter than VMs. Several organizations face issues when moving applications among environments. Containers package the applications and all the OS dependencies in a single package. This enables easy movement of applications among such platforms and makes the container and microservices architecture a viable solution for the this environment. Containers provide an increased level of visibility toward application performance. They also provide agility and cost benefits that are otherwise difficult to achieve with virtualization technologies as they consume higher system resources.
Container and microservice architecture allow rapid scaling across different environments. The scalability of their IT infrastructure is critical as organizations are looking to expand their business. The container and microservices architecture aid in scaling effectively and efficiently. Docker is among the most popular container technologies that organizations are leveraging. It offers similar functionalities as VMs without affecting host resources. However, Docker lacks uniform support across different platforms. As a result, several organizations are opting to deploy Kubernetes. Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) and RedHat Inc.'s OpenShift are also gaining traction in the market. The above-mentioned factors will spur the market growth and trends during the forecast period.
An increase in cloud orchestration and cloud management software is one of the major market trends. The adoption of hybrid solutions has increased in recent years as it offers agility. However, managing a hybrid cloud can be a challenge as there are different management tools for on-premises infrastructure and for managing the public cloud. The rise in hybrid deployments has resulted in a subsequent increase in the orchestration software.
Cloud orchestration refers to the use of programming techniques to manage interconnections between the different public and private cloud computing environments. It is used to provision and deploy equipment, manage networking, and create VMs, among other functions. This software can work across multiple environments and in different geographical environments with different service providers. This makes cloud orchestration software an ideal solution for hybrid cloud deployments.
The companies lock-in and operational complexities are major challenges impeding the market growth. companies lock-in, also known as customer lock-in or proprietary lock-in, is where a customer using a product or service cannot easily transition to another companies's product or service. This makes a customer dependent on a companies for products and services, due to which the enterprise/customer cannot use the technology, solution, or service developed by other companies. Therefore, it may be difficult to switch to public service providers after all the data has been stored in the private platform. It also becomes more difficult to switch among different private companies because an application is built using a specific platform and set of tools. Each companies may not support the same languages, libraries, APIs, architecture, or OS used to build and run applications or store information.
Although it is possible to switch between private cloud providers, the process can be time-consuming, labor-intensive, and expensive. Switching between companies may even result in rebuilding or altering an application to fit the new platform. However, at the time of filing its S1, its infrastructure was directly tied to Google Cloud, which prevented the company from making this transition and led to additional costs and excess resource allocation. Thus, companies lock-in can pose a challenge for the global private services market during the forecast period.
