28: The CNCF Turns 10

Ever heard of Kubernetes? Envoy? Prometheus? You probably have. But what you may not know is that these projects are managed and sustained by the Cloud Native Computing Foundation, aka the CNCF. Cloud native computing allows IT and software to move faster, and open source projects are essential to furthering these innovations and keeping them accessible for everyone. The CNCF is dedicated to fostering and sustaining an ecosystem of open source, vendor-neutral projects. In fact, Spotify donated Backstage to the CNCF in September 2020 and it moved to incubating maturity level March 2022. To celebrate the CNCF’s 10th year, host and principal engineer Dave Zolotusky speaks with Chris Aniszczyk, Chief Technology Officer at the CNCF to better understand what an open source foundation is, what it does, and why it matters so much to the developer community. Plus, we’ll get a sneak peek at KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe.Learn more about Chris Aniszczyk, the CNCF, and open source:NerdOut@Spotify, Ep.02: Open IssuesNerdOut@Spotify, Ep.11: Open Source Work Is WorkCloud Native Computing Foundation blogChris Aniszczyk on TwitterChris's Open Source Velocity ReportsCertified Backstage Associate certification and other certificationsRegister for KubeCon + CloudNativeCon LondonRead what else we’re nerding out about on the Spotify Engineering Blog: engineering.atspotify.comYou should follow us on Twitter @SpotifyEng, LinkedIn, and YouTube!
