CNCF stands for Cloud Native Computing Foundation, a cloud computing abbreviation.
The Linux Foundation project that hosts Kubernetes and many other open-source cloud tools, such as Prometheus, Envoy, containerd and Argo, and runs the KubeCon conferences.
Example: The service mesh graduated from the CNCF incubator last year, a sign of its maturity.
Usage notes
Founded in 2015 with Kubernetes as its seed project. Projects advance through sandbox, incubating and graduated levels. Its sprawling "cloud native landscape" chart of tools has become a running joke about ecosystem complexity. It also offers certifications such as CKA, the Certified Kubernetes Administrator.
