28: The CNCF Turns 10

<p>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 <a href="https://www.cncf.io/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">CNCF</a>. </p><br/><p>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. </p><br/><p>In fact, Spotify donated Backstage to the CNCF in September 2020 and it moved to incubating maturity level March 2022. </p><br/><p>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.</p><br/><p>Learn more about Chris Aniszczyk, the CNCF, and open source:</p><ul><li><a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/332yTwGiILGKTS7dsHCj2P?si=24054f7ff61040b5" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">NerdOut@Spotify, Ep.02: Open Issues</a></li><li><a href="https://open.spotify.com/episode/0erUH7oqqbW5HDUjcnK6cb?si=7c7dbafbc0fd4059" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">NerdOut@Spotify, Ep.11: Open Source Work Is Work</a></li><li><a href="https://www.cncf.io/blog/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Cloud Native Computing Foundation blog</a></li><li><a href="https://x.com/cra?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Chris Aniszczyk on Twitter</a></li><li><a href="https://github.com/cncf/velocity" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Chris's Open Source Velocity Reports</a></li><li><a href="https://www.cncf.io/training/certification/cba/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Certified Backstage Associate certification</a> and <a href="https://www.cncf.io/training/certification/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">other certifications</a></li><li><a href="https://events.linuxfoundation.org/kubecon-cloudnativecon-europe/register/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">Register for KubeCon + CloudNativeCon London</a></li></ul><p>Read what else we’re nerding out about on the Spotify Engineering Blog: <a href="https://engineering.atspotify.com/" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">engineering.atspotify.com</a></p><p>You should follow us on Twitter <a href="https://twitter.com/SpotifyEng" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">@SpotifyEng</a>, <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/spotify-r&amp;d" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">LinkedIn</a>, and <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHBvqSwbfAf5Vx1jrwkG43Q" target="_blank" rel="ugc noopener noreferrer">YouTube</a>!</p>
