CNCF Welcomes New Silver Members to Enhance Cloud Native Ecosystem

The Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF), a key player in fostering sustainable ecosystems for cloud native software, has recently expanded its community by welcoming 17 new Silver Members. This strategic move marks a significant step in enhancing the adoption of cloud native technologies across various industries.

The new Silver Members, which include a diverse range of organizations, are set to contribute their expertise in observability platforms, cloud infrastructure, and enterprise software, highlighting the dynamic innovation within the cloud native ecosystem. Noteworthy new members include Arcfra, Autovia, Blacksmith, and ControlTheory. Each of these organizations brings unique capabilities aimed at refining cloud infrastructure and analytics.

Unlocking Value Through Membership
Joining the CNCF as a Silver Member provides organizations with considerable benefits—an estimated annual value of around $198,500. This support comes in the form of increased brand visibility, reduced training costs, and enhanced sponsorship opportunities. Members gain access to key CNCF marketing channels for blog contributions, webinars, and participation in collaborative working groups. These benefits are tailored for companies looking to solidify their standing and influence within the open source community.

Chris Aniszczyk, the CTO of CNCF, expressed enthusiasm for this influx of new members. He emphasized that their contributions underline the critical role that open source and cloud native technologies play as innovators across different industries. With CNCF's continuous growth, particularly with the introduction of new KubeCon + CloudNativeCon events in the Asia-Pacific region, these fresh perspectives and energies are anticipated to bolster the cloud native infrastructure’s development.
