The Cloudcast

What if the CNCF was private equity?


Listen Later

For years, the CNCF has been the central governance body for cloud-native projects. But are there too many projects now? What if the CNCF was less governance and more like private equity?

WHY DOESN’T THE CNCF RECOMMEND A CLOUD-NATIVE STACK? 

  • Originally the CNCF was just trying to get projects to use them for governance. 
  • Many people wanted them to “define” a cloud-native stack. 
  • Defining a stack would have held back their business model - accepting projects and adding sponsors

HOW MANY PROJECTS WOULD GET “CNCF APPROVED” IF THEY TOOK A PRIVATE EQUITY APPROACH?

  • CNCF currently has 184 projects, up 4x over the last 4 years. 
  • 14% graduates, 20% incubating, 62% sandbox 
  • Does the CNCF suffer from the “Big Tent” problem that caused so many issues with OpenStack? 
  • KubeCon keynotes are just a list of projects giving status updates - they could be an email. 
  • How many projects should the CNCF sponsor? How many categories should remain?
  • How would a private equity group apply metrics to CNCF projects?
