Open Source Summit + ELC Europe 2019

When an Open Source project like Kubernetes become a de facto platform of choice for creating cloud native computing applications, many vendors have started hosting a version of Kubernetes on their platforms. It is important that we ensure that Kubernetes is portable and interoperable across different vendors’ environments. Software certification prevent vendor lock-in and helps community growth through standards. Conformance certification programs should run parallel to normal technical and feature development cycles. Conformance should have proper guidelines to manage software release cycles and how vendors can participate.

In this talk you will learn about the issues we have to deal and best practices that were developed to design Kubernetes compliance program. Talk will give you insight into code and process that contributed to the success of the program and how it can be replicated to other open source initiatives.
