Organizations globally are increasingly adopting containerization as a means to modernize their applications. Over half of the organizations using containers report that 50% or more of their applications are now containerized. This shift is driven by the need for improved reliability, availability, and scalability of both new and existing applications.

The primary challenge organizations encounter when refactoring applications for containerization is adapting existing processes to support the newly containerized apps. Other significant hurdles include the complexity of the refactoring process and a lack of necessary skill sets within the organization.

Organizations that adopt container technology report several benefits, including improved application security, enhanced operational efficiency, and better reliability, availability, and scalability of their apps. Additionally, many organizations see reduced management costs and faster development timelines, which are crucial for future application upgrades.
