Kuadrant Accepted as Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) Sandbox Project
As of June 2024, Kuadrant has been accepted as a sandbox project in the CNCF.
The CNCF Sandbox is the entry point for early-stage projects.
This is a significant move towards building the Kuadrant community and aligns well with how existing CNCF and open source projects are used in Kuadrant.
Kuadrant is a set of Kubernetes-native controllers, services and APIs that provide gateway policies for existing Gateway API providers on both single and multi-cluster environments. It builds on top of Kubernetes Gateway API and technologies such as Istio and Envoy to introduce provider-agnostic Gateway Policies for Kubernetes.
The project provides the ability to connect ingress gateways upwards with Cloud DNS and Load Balancing providers, to set policies inwards with TLS and advanced (L7) service protection such as Auth and Rate limiting and to propagate desired gateway configurations downwards across multi-cluster environments.
A high level introduction to the project is available through a short video published on the project's YouTube channel.
Since the Kuadrant project began, there have been numerous releases, with the most recent release of 0.9.0 being finalised.
We are always looking for ways to extend the community and help people to contribute.
To find out more about how to help:
- Check out the documentation.
- Explore the Kuadrant repositories.
- Engage with the community.
- Follow the onboarding process as we complete the transition to CNCF and evolve Kuadrant governance.
