Announcing the CNCF Kubernetes Project Journey Report
CNCF released their first Project Journey Report – for Kubernetes.
CNCF wanted to create a series of reports that help explain CNCF nurturing efforts and some of the positive trends and outcomes that are seen developing around CNCF hosted projects. This report attempts to objectively assess the state of the Kubernetes project and how CNCF has impacted the progress and growth of Kubernetes.
Bootstrapping a Kubernetes Cluster on AWS with Cluster API
Scott Lowe, VMware
In this blog, Scott walks readers through actually using CAPI to bootstrap a Kubernetes cluster on AWS.
Four basic steps are involved in bootstrapping a Kubernetes cluster on AWS using CAPI:
- Installing the necessary tools (a one-time task)
- Preparing the AWS account with the correct IAM roles and policies (this is a one-time task)
- Creating a management cluster (not required every single time)
- Creating a workload cluster
The following sections in this blog take a look at each of these steps in a bit more detail.
Surveys
It’s survey season! Help these surveyors out and provide your thoughts and feedback!
Cloud Native Survey 2019
The CNCF survey takes a pulse of the community to better understand the adoption of cloud native technologies.
The results will be compiled into a report and shared to highlight the new and changing trends we’re seeing across industries.
In appreciation for your time, respondents will have the opportunity to enter into a drawing to receive one of three $200 Amazon Gift Card prizes.
CNCF Storage Survey
This is a survey developed by the CNCF Storage Working Group to assess the end user community.
Kubernetes SIG Docs Survey 2019
The Kubernetes SIG Docs team would like Kubernetes users to evaluate the Kubernetes documentation
Please take a moment to provide your feedback so we can plan how to improve the Kubernetes docs.
General Messaging Survey
The NATS team wants to learn which distributed communication technologies are chosen, why they are chosen, and how they are found so they created this short survey. The information you provide is valuable and helps better serve the OSS community. To show their appreciation, if you complete this survey and include your email address, you’ll be entered in a raffle to win a $100 Amazon gift card.
