Developed in 2014 by Google to manage "container sprawl," the Kubernetes project was promoted to "graduate" by the CNCF after demonstrating a thriving adoption rate, a documented and structured governance process, and a strong commitment to community success and inclusivity, according to the group.
So far, the Kubernetes project has more than 11,258 contributing developers, more than 75,000 commits on GitHub and more than 158,000 members in global Meetup groups--all of which attests to the project's continuing growth, Chris Aniszczyk, the COO for the CNCF, told ITProToday.
