Innovation

Since Its inception, Kubernetes has seen a terrific pace of innovation and adoption. The community of developers, users, testers, and advocates is continuously growing every day. The software is also moving at an extremely fast pace, which is even putting GitHub to the test:

• Given to open source in June 2014

• Thousands of contributors

• More than 100k commits

• Tens of thousands on Slack

• Currently, on a three month major release cycle

• Constant changes.​

Understanding and expecting constant change is often a challenge for those used to single-vendor, monolithic applications. While there are major releases every three months, you can expect minor releases every ten days. Constant testing of new releases and changes is essential to properly maintain a Kubernetes cluster.
