The importance of succession planning and knowledge transfer in Cloud native projects

• Cloud native projects are experiencing turnover and external factors that impact the community and bring innovation, but also strain and change on projects
• Maintainers and contributors may experience burnout and imposter syndrome, making succession planning and knowledge transfer crucial
• Scaling knowledge glaciers and distributing knowledge through documentation, community engagement, and contribution is key
• Establishing trust within the community and contributing back to the project helps with succession planning and ensures diversity and innovation in the project
• Designing communities into layers of leadership, including canopies of maintainers, sub canopies of technical leads, and ground cover of new contributions, is important for year-round blooms and successive plantings
