Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF)

Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) is an open source software foundation under the Linux Foundation umbrella dedicated to making cloud native computing universal and sustainable. Cloud native computing uses an open source software stack to deploy applications as microservices, packaging each part into its own container, and dynamically orchestrating those containers to optimize resource utilization. Cloud native technologies enable software developers to build great products faster.

CNCF serves as a vendor-neutral home for many of the fastest-growing projects on GitHub, including Kubernetes, Prometheus, and Envoy, fostering collaboration between the industry's top developers, end users and vendors.
