Google announced today that the open source container orchestration system, Kubernetes, has reached its version 1.0 (v1) milestone. The v1 milestone indicates that Kubernetes is production ready. Google is also announcing, along with the Linux Foundation, the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF). The CNCF will advance the building of cloud native applications and services.
Kubernetes is an orchestration system for Docker Containers. Kubernetes manages workloads ensuring that their state matches their intention. In the past year Kubernetes has become a successful and popular project that has over 14,000 commits from over 400 contributors. Now Kubernetes is production ready with a slew of features.
Kubernetes features:
The formation of the CNCF will focus on creating and driving the adoption of a new computing paradigm that is optimized for modern distributed systems environments. Partners include Google, the Linux Foundation, Docker, IBM, VMware, Intel, Cisco, Joyent, CoreOS, Mesosphere, Univa, and Red Hat. Kubernetes will seed the CNCF, which will govern future open source development of Kubernetes. The CNCF will help the technical community to build new open source software make the entire container toolset more robust. The CNCF will also evaluate future projects to determine whether they will be included in the foundation and how well they work in the overall toolset.
