Named, too few times to rank.
A product needs 10 labels in a category before a share is stated. Kubernetes has 2.
Why models recommend it
“Kubernetes (or managed equivalents like EKS/GKE) is the only viable enterprise choice”Qwen 3.7 Flash · Negative question · alternative
What gives them pause
“Kubernetes v1.24 dropped built-in Docker Engine support, so any security agents relying on Docker must be migrated to compatible runtimes”Mistral Small · Negative question · warning

How this is measured
Fourteen AI models from 12 labs are asked the same buying questions six ways, for three company sizes. Standings refresh every edition.
Gane sells AI visibility software. No company can pay to change a result.
Read the method →Sources returned with these answers
Fourteen of the fourteen models returned a source list in this edition: five return the pages they cited and nine the search results they consulted. These counts come from 6 of the 7 answers that named Kubernetes and are not a share of its labels.
Domains cited
Eleven of the thirteen domain citations in answers naming Kubernetes came from a third party's page. Two were to the publisher's own pages (the Gane Index), which the models cite like any other source; they are not counted as a third party.

Pages are listed as the models cited them.

How it is countedHide how it is counted
Every page kubernetes.io exposes, subdomains included. Kind is read from the address and title. The last 90 days, the latest date and the twelve months count pages by when they were published, from the site's feeds, a date in the address, or the page's own publication date, read from up to a hundred of its most recently changed pages; a page that says only when it last changed is counted in its kind but not in when, so the recent counts are a floor, and a kind none of whose pages gives a publication date reads undated. An event counts as online when its address or title says so (webinar, on demand, virtual or online summit); a conference, summit, trade show, expo or roadshow that does not say so is counted as a conference or event, which on a vendor's site is mostly in person.
