Kubernetes appears in 68% of active jobs.

215 of 315 active job ads mention Kubernetes for sre.

• 68% — kubernetes (215 job ads)
• 65% — python (205 job ads)
• 55% — terraform (173 job ads)

Every percentage uses the same 315 active qualified job ads as its denominator. A job can mention multiple skills, so the cards do not add to 100%.

The leading entries in this view are Kubernetes, Python, Terraform. That ranking is calculated from the same dated snapshot as the attached visual.

Interpretation: frequent mentions signal employer demand, not the depth of proficiency required.

How it was built: Each skill is counted at most once per job. Skills combine structured job fields and AI-extracted technologies.

I use this as a directional view of the market rather than a prediction. The useful part is comparing the same definitions consistently over time—and checking the underlying live roles before acting on a headline or changing a career decision.
