Getting an open-source project hosted by a foundation can provide a lot of opportunities for growth, such as through increased marketing and awareness. In this episode we spoke with Torin Sandall, VP of Open Source at Styra, about the process of donating Open Policy Agent (OPA) to the CNCF and its journey up to its recent graduation.
The New Stack: “Kubernetes-Autoscaling KEDA Moves into CNCF Incubation”
KEDA, the Kubernetes Event-Driven Autoscaler project, has moved on from the sandbox tier at the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) this week, joining the 21 other projects in incubation, such as Argo, Falco, gRPC and Rook.
InfoWorld: “4 reasons to get Kubernetes-certified, and 4 reasons not to”
Container orchestration with Kubernetes is one of the most in-demand skills in technology today, but it is also hard, with many IT professionals deciding to pursue certifications to prove their chops. But are these certifications worth the time and money?
The answer to that question will of course depend on the individual and their unique goals, but what is certain is that certifications can be a useful way to open doors to a new career path.
SearchITOperations: KEDA project adds finesse to Kubernetes autoscaling
A new take on Kubernetes autoscaling gained momentum this week with promotion from sandbox to incubation within the Cloud Native Computing Foundation.
To earn this promotion, Kubernetes Event-Driven Autoscaling (KEDA) passed a Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) due diligence process within the open source governance body that demonstrated the project has matured and broadened adoption among end users since the initial sandbox stage.
Container Journal: “Introduction to the Kubernetes Cluster API”
Kubernetes use has expanded across DevOps to help with orchestrating container environments. In 2021, 68% of IT professionals increased their Kubernetes use. But as Kubernetes use rises, the next step is figuring out how to efficiently manage multiple clusters. This is influencing new investment in multi-cluster tooling.
IT Ops Times: “Linkerd becomes first service mesh to graduate CNCF”
The Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) recently announced the graduation of Linkerd, which was the first project to join the CNCF Sandbox. Linkerd now becomes the first service mesh project to achieve graduated status, which indicates that the project has shown widespread adoption, an open governance process, feature maturity, and a commitment to community, sustainability, and inclusivity, according to the CNCF.
