Kubernetes and cloud-native technologies encompass tools and methods for deploying, managing, and orchestrating containerized applications across different infrastructures. Key elements include automation of operational tasks, scaling, and management of containerized environments using Kubernetes, as well as integration with cloud services to streamline and optimize deployment processes. This field emphasizes on microservices architecture, open-source tooling, and robust ecosystem driven by collaborations like the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF).

Ranks are based on the open source contributions and reassessed every 30 days
