Cloudflight: Holistic concept missing

Cloudflight, together with cloud provider Ionos, presents detailed insights into the cloudnative use of companies in an empirical study. In it, 250 decision-makers in the DACH region were asked about their previous experiences, plans and concrete implementation strategies of cloudnative solutions. A key finding of the survey was that most companies are still at the very beginning of their cloud-native journey and are currently in the evaluation or planning phase. This shows the difference to classic cloud architectures and platforms: More than 80 percent of companies in the DACH region are now familiar with these to some extent. However, many are still struggling with the practical implementation of the next stage, cloud-native. Thus, 38 percent of those surveyed stated that they were currently still busy evaluating.

19 percent have already decided on a concrete implementation model and are about to implement the first deployment scenarios. Eight percent of the companies surveyed are currently in the pilot stage and are therefore selectively using cloud-native technologies and methods in individual projects, but are not yet scaling them extensively. One third of the companies, on the other hand, already count themselves as cloud-native professionals. 18 percent of them are already actively using the methodology in several projects. "Our study impressively demonstrates the high potential of cloud-native.

Even if some smaller companies still show a certain wait-and-see attitude, the topic will decisively shape the IT roadmap of most companies in the next few years," predicts Maximilian Hille, Head of Consulting at Cloudflight, summarizing the trend that is very likely to continue.
