Last week, RedHat announced a definitive agreement to acquire StackRox for an undisclosed amount. StackRox, the first Kubernetes-native security platform, is expected to integrate seamlessly with RedHat’s Kubernetes platform OpenShift; the partnership will allow OpenShift users to securely build, deploy and run cloud-native applications across their Kubernetes clusters. Purchased in 2018 for $34B, RedHat was part of IBM’s shift toward hybrid cloud management; using OpenShift, IBM created cloud architecture that works with the entire range of IT infrastructure, regardless of the clients’ vendor.
The data above paints a clear picture of the level of the recent capital being deployed into the Kubernetes market; Q4 alone saw more than $115M invested into Kubernetes related companies bringing the 2020 total to $180B. This massive growth in the last quarter alone is a clear indication of where the market is heading; with adoption nearing 90% we expect a handful of large enterprises to continue diversifying their Kubernetes toolkits through acquisition.
