Today, most Sandbox projects of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation fall under the broad categories of runtime and application delivery, reflecting how DevOps teams continue to seek ways to improve the developer and operations experience when building and deploying applications on cloud native environments, especially for those built on Kubernetes.

Application Delivery category represents the most @CloudNativeFdn’s Sandbox projects, by “bridging the gap between writing code and that code being packaged and delivered as an application that can be run in the cloud,” @lizrice.

During her keynote, Liz Rice, chief open source officer for Isovalent and chair of the CNCF Technical Oversight Committee, defined how tools falling under the application-delivery category are used to “bridge the gap between a developer writing code at a keyboard and that code being packaged and delivered as an application that can be run in the cloud.”

Stefan Prodan, a developer experience engineer for Weaveworks, described during his keynote “CNCF Project Update: Flux” how the framework’s capability helps to “to bridge the gap between source control access and Kubernetes access” in a way that allows for the verification of users’ identities who create a commit.”

One of the challenging areas for CI/CD, as well as DevOps teams in general, is how to develop, deploy and manage applications often spread across different cloud environments.
