In this podcast, Tracy Miranda sat down with InfoQ podcast co-host Daniel Bryant. Miranda, Director of Open Source Community at CloudBees, and board chair at the Continuous Delivery Foundation (CDF), discussed topics that included: the aims of the CDF and an outline of the current hosted projects, the need for open standards and interoperability in the CD space, and the benefits offered by progressive delivery and software supply chain management.

Why listen to this podcast:

- The Continuous Delivery Foundation (CDF) serves as the vendor-neutral home of many projects within continuous delivery space, including: Jenkins, Jenkins X, Spinnaker, Tekton, and Screwdriver.cd

- Jenkins X is a Kubernetes-native continuous delivery solution for cloud applications. This project uses a completely new architecture and code base in comparison with the original Jenkins project.

- Spinnaker is an open source, multi-cloud continuous delivery platform. The Tekton Pipelines project provides Kubernetes-style custom resources for declaring continuous integration and delivery pipelines. Spinnaker can use Tekton as its pipeline engine.

- In addition to providing a neutral home for projects within the CD space, the CDF is also aiming to help define appropriate terminology, open standards, and abstractions. This will assist with interoperability between CD components, and also promote innovation in the areas that can provide the most value.

- The CDF is also aiming to facilitate software testing, progressive delivery, and software supply chain management. Wide ranging topics such as observability and security are important will play an important role here.
