CNCF Landscape: Mapping the Cloud Native Ecosystem

The CNCF Landscape arranges cloud native open source projects and proprietary products into categories, giving an overview of the wider ecosystem. CNCF describes it as having been created to help users navigate the cloud native ecosystem. It is presented to CNCF members as one of the ways to amplify their presence within the community.

• Organises open source projects and proprietary products
• Grouped into categories for easier navigation

Entries are maintained through a public repository, and CNCF members are invited to add their company by opening a pull request. This places landscape submissions alongside CNCF's other community contribution routes, which include both code and non-code contributions through working groups, mentorship programmes and project communities. Members with questions about their membership are directed to the Membership FAQ or to submitting a Member Desk ticket.

The landscape sits within the Membership Hub, a page of resources curated for current CNCF members. Alongside it are routes to learn about CNCF's structure through the Charter, Code of Conduct and Overview Deck, to engage via community and member-only meetings, and to contribute through the Contributor Guide. Other member programmes listed include the Technical Oversight Committee, Technical Advisory Groups, CNCF Projects, the Ambassador Program and mentorship, as well as marketing programmes such as the Marketing Committee, online programs, Video Spotlight, the CNCF blog, CNCF events and membership branding.
