Its not a secret that Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) has multiple projects with over 138K+ contributors. The landscape page says the projects have over 2.8 Million GitHub stars at the time of writing.
There are a wide variety of categories of projects under these categories:
- Application definition and development
- Orchestration and management (which is where famous Kubernetes resides)
- Runtime
- Provisioning
- Special
Across these categories, projects are classified based on their status of maturity and adherence to CNCF project requirements– Graduated, Incubating, Sandbox and Archived. At the time of writing there are 16 graduated projects, 24 incubating projects and 1468 member products/projects!
Question is how can anyone correlate these projects based on engineering domains? If I am interested in security, what projects should I look at or more broadly what are the set of security aspects that my project should care about?
In order to help address some of the cross-project concerns, interests, queries and resolutions, CNCF has established TAGs to help everyone.
