Intro to the Cloud Native Maturity Model

The Cloud Native Maturity Model is a tool to help end users and adopters navigate the CNCF landscape. It consists of five stages that provide guidance on what people need to be doing at every stage of their maturity with Kubernetes, including the processes, policies, and technologies to adopt and use at various levels.

• The Cloud Native Maturity Model was created by the Cartografos Working Group and donated to the CNCF as a project to help end users and adopters navigate the CNCF landscape.
• The model consists of five stages that provide guidance on what people need to be doing at every stage of their maturity with Kubernetes.
• The five stages are building, operation, scaling, improving, and improving further.
• The model covers the people, process, policy, and technology aspects of cloud native maturity.
• The model is available on the GitHub page and the Cartografos Working Group meets regularly to improve it.
• The CNCF is working to get the model on their web pages and to identify resources for each stage of the model.

The Cloud Native Maturity Model is like a roadmap for organizations that want to adopt Kubernetes and become cloud native. It helps them understand what they need to do at each stage of their journey and what outcomes they should expect. For example, in the building stage, they might be running a proof of concept, while in the scaling stage, they might be rolling out Kubernetes across more applications and users. The model also covers the people, process, policy, and technology aspects of cloud native maturity, so organizations can make informed decisions about what to adopt and use. By following the model, organizations can improve their security, revisit earlier decisions, and ultimately become more efficient and effective in their cloud native journey.

Since 2021, the Cartografos Working Group has produced the Cloud Native Maturity Model. In this session, the chairs will review the Cloud Native Maturity, discuss the latest updates and inclusions and solicit participation in the group.Click here to view captioning/translation in the MeetingPlay platform!
