The Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF), which builds sustainable ecosystems for cloud native software, announced that Broadcom has upgraded its membership to Platinum—reinforcing the company’s mission to advance cloud native technologies that help organizations build resilient infrastructure for the AI era.
As enterprises increasingly move AI and data-intensive workloads into production, cloud native technologies are vital in delivering the scalability, reliability, and operational efficiency required to support these environments, according to the CNCF.
Broadcom's expanded investment in CNCF reflects its ongoing commitment to open source collaboration and the technologies enabling organizations to build and operate modern application platforms, Broadcom said.
"Broadcom has had a longstanding engagement with CNCF and is committed to supporting the future of cloud native computing as the technology where AI runs," said Jonathan Bryce, executive director, CNCF. "From contributing projects like Velero to helping organizations operate complex cloud native environments, Broadcom plays an important role in the ecosystem. We look forward to expanding our partnership and supporting the growth of the communities building the next era of cloud native.”
The membership elevation follows Broadcom’s recent contribution of Velero to the CNCF Sandbox. Velero is a Kubernetes-native backup, restore and migration project that enables platform teams to protect cluster state and persistent data, safeguard AI workflows to mitigate disaster recovery, and migrate workloads across clusters and environments.
Broadcom has been a long term contributor to the CNCF ecosystem and a top three contributor to Kubernetes for the past decade. The company originated projects such as Harbor, Antrea, Velero, and Contour and is a maintainer for projects such as Cluster API, etcd, containerd, Kubernetes CSI, and controller-runtime.
"Cloud native adoption has moved well beyond application deployment and now encompasses platform operations, resilience, security and lifecycle management,” said Dilpreet Bindra, senior director of engineering, VCF Division, Broadcom. “By advancing our membership to Platinum, we're helping fortify the open technologies teams depend on to operate Kubernetes environments with confidence. We are pleased to continue to uplift the cloud native community and supporting the technologies that enable organizations to help organizations modernize their platforms, protect critical workloads and accelerate innovation"
