Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) is a nonprofit organization operating within The Linux Foundation that coordinates the development and adoption of cloud-native technologies. It supports an open-source software stack used to deploy applications as microservices, with components packaged in containers and orchestrated to optimize how resources are used. The foundation hosts core elements of these software stacks and provides a neutral space for collaboration among developers, end users, and vendors. Headquartered in San Francisco, California, CNCF is a mid-sized entity within the IT services and IT consulting landscape. Its activities serve a broad ecosystem of organizations building and operating cloud-native infrastructure, aiming to advance interoperability and reduce fragmentation. In June 2026, CNCF announced a unified SaaS platform for cloud-native training and certification, developed with Udemy and Linux Foundation Education.
