First of all, public cloud container adoption is slowly shifting to Kubernetes. Secondly, there is also a shift towards hybrid- and multi-cloud strategies, enabled by cloud-native technologies such as containers and Kubernetes. Few months after that, Kubernetes was donated to the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF).
