- Kubernetes is the fastest growing software engineering skill.
- Learning Kubernetes can help you land a great job, making it a high-in-demand skill for software engineers.
- If you have Kubernetes skills then you will almost certainly be in demand from employers, as a new survey from CyberArk has found that IT jobs with the container orchestration tool in the title have soared year on year.
- Employer demand for IT professionals with Kubernetes experience is growing faster than candidate interest, according to new data from job board Indeed.
- Kubernetes and containers have become virtually synonymous with cloud-native development, driving job market demand over the last four years.
- “Kubernetes does the things that the very best system administrator would do: automation, failover, centralized logging, monitoring. It takes what we’ve learned in the DevOps community and makes it the default, out of the box,” said Kelsey Hightower, staff developer advocate at Google Cloud.
- Indeed also noted that IBM, VMware, Microsoft, Verizon, and Cisco had the highest percentage of Kubernetes job listings on its job board.
- Between October 2015 and October 2019—a mere four-year timespan—the share of Kubernetes job searches increased by 2,125%. Kubernetes-related jobs per million also grew by 2,141% in that same time period, according to a blog post from Seen by Indeed.
- Kubernetes is the new Linux OS of the Cloud. Kubernetes is fast becoming the operating system for the Cloud, and brings a ubiquity which has the potential for massive benefits for technology organisations and developers.
- Kubernetes has the opportunity to be the servers of the serverless world. We’re already seeing with tools like Kubeless and Fission providing equivalents to functions-as-a-service but running within Kubernetes.
- Kubernetes, as a container orchestration system, is one of the best things to happen to DevOps to date.
- There is a massive ecosystem of tools developed around and for Kubernetes. Some of the top ones include Helm, which manages Kubernetes charts (pre-configured resources), and Kubectl, a command-line tool that controls the Kubernetes cluster manager.
- The open-source nature of the Kubernetes technology allows room for custom tools to be built by developers. This further helps in automating monotonous tasks and simplifying the process of DevOps.
- Cloud is undoubtedly the future of modern application development. Kubernetes is fully compatible with all the major cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure, etc) and even has ready-to-use starters on many platforms for easy setup.
- Below are the most recent kubernetes salary reports.
INDIA Average:- INR 969,990/-
UK Average:- £49,888
USA Average:- $145,000
Autralia Average:- AU$110,011
Canada Average:- C$89,434
Note:- These are just average – there are several factors which affect salary for like geography, skills, company, experience, it varies accordingly.
Day by day demand is growing for Kubernetes knowledge and skillsets, getting certified as a Kubernetes professional makes a lot of sense. However it’s not an easy task to prepare and claim the certification – you may ask for help from the DevOpsSchool team – they have programs available completely aligned with the certification agenda.
