Participants in the Technical Committee of the organization CNCF (Cloud Native Computing Foundation), a part of the Linux Foundation, have recently approved the acceptance of the project Cozystack. Cozystack is a platform being developed for the creation of private clouds and PAAS. Following this approval, Cozystack has been granted the status of a Sandbox project within CNCF. The developers of Cozystack have initiated the integration process with the CNCF infrastructure, signaling a step forward for the project.
The COZYSTACK platform is licensed under APACHE 2.0 and enables users to construct a cloud environment for deploying “Cloud Native” tools such as Kubernetes-managed clusters, DBAAS (database as a service), and virtual machines based on KubeVIRT on existing hardware. Cozystack also offers pre-configured dashboards for monitoring and alerts, utilizing Victoria Metrics, Victoria Logs, Grafana, and Alerta. The platform can be utilized to provide Kubernetes-managed services, build resilient clusters, and manage databases deployed on separate hardware (Bare Metal).
The non-profit organization CNCF (Cloud Native Computing Foundation), a part of the Linux Foundation, oversees various Cloud Native projects including Kubernetes, ETCD, Envoy, Prometheus, Cilium, ISTIO, K3S, K3S, and Fluxcd. Projects seeking to become a main CNCF project must progress through the stages of “Sandbox”, “Incubating”, and “Graduated”. CNCF Sandbox serves as an entry point for projects seeking to join CNCF and become integrated within the organization.
The inclusion of the Cozystack project within CNCF ensures users that the platform will remain available under the Apache 2.0 license, safeguarding it from the fate of projects like Mongo, Redis, Terraform, and Vault, which have transitioned to proprietary licenses. Furthermore, being part of CNCF will facilitate the attraction of new developers and users to the project, enhancing project management transparency.
