Last week, I had the pleasure of welcoming Oracle into the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF). This now marks the top 6 leading public cloud providers in the world are now part of the CNCF:
still amazing to have the top 6 public cloud providers ("leaders and visionaries") part of the @CloudNativeFdn now! https://t.co/1MoRG6fpaR pic.twitter.com/Vv0BVm6C9U

This also marks for the first time in the history of our industry that these leading cloud providers are working together in the same open source focused foundation to move the state of the art infrastructure forward.
Also last week I had the opportunity to bring in two new high quality cloud native projects into CNCF. Envoy is a high-performance open source edge and service proxy that makes the network transparent to applications. Jaeger is an open source distributed tracing system inspired by Google Dapper paper and OpenZipkin community. It can be used for tracing microservice-based architectures. Uber began deploying Jaeger internally in 2015. It is now integrated into thousands of microservices and recording thousands of traces every second.
Anyways, this is one of the reasons I enjoy working in open source today, bringing together diverse (and even competing) companies to build a better world by collaborating in the open!
