A number of companies joined the Cloud Native Computing Foundation earlier in December, included players from “across the industry”. Announced at OSCON Open Source conference in Portland, Oregon, United States in July of this year, the Cloud Native Computing Foundation is a Linux Foundation Collaborative Project that aims to “advance the state-of-the-art for building cloud native applications and services” and “create and drive the adoption of a new set of common container technologies informed by technical merit and end user value, and inspired by Internet-scale computing”.

Alongside gaining new members, the organization launched its formal open governance structure and provided new details about its technology stack. The companies that joined the Cloud Native Computing Foundation included AT&T, Box, Cisco, Cloudsoft, Datawise.io, eBay, Fujitsu, Google, Huawei, IBM, and Red Hat.

“Cloud Native is rapidly becoming the de facto devops model,” explained Cisco Systems CTO Cloud Solutions, Ken Owens. “In addition, the open source developer community is taking the lead role in enabling application life-cycle management, tooling and development. In the journey to cloud native, an industry community is a very important step. The CNCF aligns with Cisco’s vision of application-centric enablement and portability across public and private clouds. We’re pleased to be contributors to CNCF as it enables Cisco to collaborate directly with the entire cloud native community and create a set of common services and definitions that will drive innovation in the industry.”

“As cloud computing matures, we’re finding there are a variety of ways to approach application development in this environment,” added The Linux Foundation’s Executive Director, Jim Zemlin. “Among some of the world’s largest users, such as Google and Facebook, cloud native development allows unprecedented scale and efficiency,”. “With the level of investment from across the industry and technical contributions from some of the developer community’s best talent, the Cloud Native Computing Foundation is poised to advance the state of the art of application development at Internet scale.”
