How the CNCF Grapples with Continuous Integration and Deployment

Apr 10th, 2017 3:00pm by Alex Williams

For today’s episode of The New Stack Makers podcast, we sat down with Chris Aniszczyk, chief operating officer for the Cloud Native Computing Foundation, at CloudNativeCon/KubeCon Europe 2017 conference in Berlin last month. We spoke with Aniszczyk about the pros and cons of having two container runtimes, rkt and containerd, managed by the CNCF at the same time. Another topic of discussion was the ever-growing presence of continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD), and how those practices are evolving for the CNCF Technical Oversite Committee as it looks toward accepting future projects to the Foundation.
