Making cloud native ubiquitous
About us
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. The Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) hosts critical components of those software stacks including Kubernetes and Prometheus; brings together the industry’s top developers, end users, and vendors; and serves as a neutral home for collaboration. CNCF is part of The Linux Foundation.

📅 One week until we go live with Easegress! Join CNCF Ambassador Chad M. Crowell on December 4 at 12 PM EDT for a hands-on walkthrough of Easegress, a CNCF Sandbox project designed for cloud native traffic orchestration. In this live session, Chad will explore: ✅ Service mesh traffic ✅ API gateway features ✅ Workflow automation If you’re curious about traffic control in Kubernetes environments, this session is for you. 🔗 Register: https://lnkd.in/gVwG93xC 🗓️ Monday, Dec 4 · 9 AM PST #CloudNative #ServiceMesh #Kubernetes #CNCF
ChatLoopBackOff: Episode 73 (Easegress) Join CNCF Ambassador Chad Crowell as he explores Easegress, a CNCF project built to simplify traffic orchestration in cloud native environments. In this live, first-time walkthrough, Chad will take a look at how Easegress handles service mesh traffic, API gateway capabilities, canary releases, and workflow automation—all through a lightweight and flexible architecture. Expect real-time experimentation, open discussion, and plenty of “let’s see what happens” moments as Chad navigates the docs, tries out key features, and evaluates where Easegress fits within the broader CNCF landscape. Whether you're curious about traffic management, interested in emerging CNCF Sandbox projects, or just enjoy learning alongside the community, this episode is the perfect way to get to know Easegress for the first time.

Huge thanks to Sharone Revah Zitzman for arranging sign-language interpretation at a #KubeCon + #CloudNativeCon party. 🎉 We are proud to support Merge Forward for raising the bar for inclusion. #CNCF #CloudNative #Accessibility

What one KubeCon party organizer did for her Deaf guests and how I hope all future sponsors will follow her lead 💜 🧡 💛 With some delay, a HUGE shout-out to Sharone Revah Zitzman 🎗️🇮🇱, who organized the KubeATL party at KubeCon and did something I hope every conference organizer would do: she saw a group of Deaf guests, called an interpreter agency, and had an interpreter show up. Yes, conference parties are about fun. But what hearing folks often take for granted is that they are also an important space for professional networking. Without interpreters, Deaf signing attendees are often stripped of this important opportunity. So, a massive thank you, Sharone! The entire Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) Deaf and Hard of Hearing WG team really appreciates it. Also, thank you to Ramiro Berrelleza for sponsoring the party and letting us know it was Sharone! Sidenote: The Deaf and Hard of Hearing WG team was the heart of the party, rocking the dance floor! If you want a fun party, make sure they are there! CALL TO ACTION FOR ALL PARTY SPONSORS To all conference party sponsors, please consider doing the same. There are always local agencies that can send interpreters on short notice. Inspired by Sharon's action, we will share with the CNCF a list of recommended local agencies, so they can send it to all conference party sponsors, making it easy for you to include Deaf guests at your next KubeCon event. #KubeCon #Accessibility #MergeForward #CNCF
