Cloud Native Computing Foundation Announces JFrog as Gold MemberSAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 4, 2017 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The Cloud Native Computing Foundation® (CNCF®), which sustains and integrates open source technologies like Kubernetes® and Prometheus™, today announced that JFrog joined the Foundation as a Gold Member. A big proponent of open source and cloud native technologies, JFrog leverages technologies like Kubernetes to help its more than 4,000 customers build and release software in a fast, reliable, and secure manner. "CNCF is excited to have JFrog on board as a Gold Member, further embracing their commitment to open source and the cloud native community," said Dan Kohn, Executive Director of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation. "JFrog has been a part of the open source community for some time and has implemented many cloud native technologies. We appreciate JFrog investing engineering time and financial resources into CNCF projects and initiatives." Operated from California, Seattle, Israel, India, Spain and France, the company helps organizations of all sizes to improve software releases. Created by open source developers for the open source community, JFrog's product and engineering teams are dedicated to OSS technologies and working on cloud native projects. JFrog is a significant contributor in the developer community with the offer of an open source version of Artifactory, the universal binary repository, and fully sponsored cloud infrastructure and commercial accounts for OSS projects with Bintray, the universal binary distribution platform. With over 2 billion downloads per month on Bintray and 60,000 OSS Artifactory servers, JFrog provides the community with the entire lifecycle for effective binary management. As the company joins CNCF it will introduce support for Helm repositories in Artifactory with the next version release scheduled for December. Consistent with the goal to provide the only Universal artifac support, JFrog Artifactory will now enable developers to build with Kubernetes open-source system. JFrog has been using Kubernetes for development of its products, as well as actively migrating hosted operations to Kubernetes; and the addition of Helm support is considered the next logical step for JFrog and for the community. "We know that 'cloud native' is more than a buzzword, it's all about better software design and implementation," said Kit Merker, JFrog VP of Business Development and supporter of Kubernetes open source project during his days as Google product manager for Kubernetes. "For us, joining CNCF is more than just supporting the open source community, it also signals that we are committed to bringing real engineering power to these important projects. Our goal is to contribute significantly to Kubernetes and related projects using our practical experience of creating rapid-delivery software systems." As a CNCF member, JFrog plans to allocate resources to support documentation and maintenance of CNCF projects, as well as help promote best practices for cloud native operations. Additional Resources
