Cloud Native Is the New Normal: Kubernetes + Docker in 12% of All Jobs

Container orchestration has gone from cutting edge to table stakes in under 5 years

Why it matters

Cloud native skills are now mandatory.

Counter-signals

  • Cloud native pode ser requisito implícito em vagas de infraestrutura sem menção explícita a K8s/Docker(job_classification)
  • Grandes empresas podem usar K8s internamente sem listar como requisito em vagas(enterprise_adoption)

Evidence

  • 1.081 vagas com K8s ou Docker (1,9% de 57.513)(jobs)
  • Kubernetes: 841 vagas. Docker: 507 vagas. Cloud no título: 1.606 vagas(jobs)

Limitations

  • sample_n uses full-table count (no topic-specific recipe defined); may overstate coverage
