- Survey respondents reported three top challenges when it came to using CNCF projects in production: the risk the project could become inactive (46%), a 9% increase over 2023, too complex to understand or run (46%), up 13% year over year, and the lack of supporting documentation (45%), a 5% increase. That said, fears about security vulnerabilities dropped 7% from 2023 to 2024, worries about bugs in code dropped 6%, and the concern that management doesn’t see value in open source dropped 5% (Figur · cncf.io
