Google, Docker, CoreOS, Mesosphere form the Cloud Native Computing Foundation to standardize container tools

General News

▤ Summary

AT&T, Box, Cisco, Cloud Foundry, CoreOS, Cycle Computing, Docker, eBay, Goldman Sachs, Google, Huawei, IBM, Intel, Joyent, Kismatic, Mesosphere, Red Hat, Switch, Twitter, Univa, VMware, and Weaveworks are all participating as founding members of the foundation, which falls under the Linux Foundation. Participants will initially focus on the Kubernetes container management software, which Google released under an open-source project last year. The Apache Mesos project could also come under the control of the new foundation, which could conceivably govern a wide range of other tools in the future, too. Ideally, this new foundation could bring some agreement to an area where many insiders have started to choose sides and thus permit fragmentation. Should clear standards emerge, larger companies might feel more inclined to give containers a try, if they haven’t already.
