The number of Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) projects has exploded since Kubernetes came onboard, setting the stage for hundreds of tools and platforms that have achieved the various CNCF project maturity milestones of Sandbox, Incubated or Graduated.

With the profound influence the adoption of the projects have had on cloud native notwithstanding, it can be easy to sometimes overlook the monumental effort involved in every project by their contributors. In this The New Stack Makers podcast, we look at two CNCF  projects that have gone from sandbox to incubation: Crossplane, a Kubernetes add-on for infrastructure assembly and OpenTelemetry, which supports a collection of tools, APIs, and SDKs for observability.

The podcast featured guests involved with the projects including Dan Mangum, senior software engineer, for cloud platform provider Upbound (Crossplane), Constance Caramanolis, principal software engineer, data platform provider Splunk, and on the OpenTelemetry Governance Committee and Ted Young, director of developer education, observability platform provider Lightstep and an OpenTelemetry co-founder who is also on the OpenTelemetry Governance Committee.

Alex Williams, founder and publisher of The New Stack, hosted this podcast.
