The presentation discusses the launch of a certification program called Conformance, Compliance, and Compatibility for Prometheus, which aims to incentivize companies to contribute more to the project and ensure compatibility among different components.
- The Conformance, Compliance, and Compatibility certification program for Prometheus aims to ensure compatibility among different components and incentivize companies to contribute more to the project.
- The program requires companies or projects to sign paperwork with CNCF binding themselves to follow the guidelines of the certification program.
- Companies or projects can self-test and submit results to get a time-limited permission to use the certification mark.
- The program aims to unlock more contributions to Prometheus and give tech people an official reference to self-test and figure out if things are good.
- The initial cadence is aggressive, and the program needs at least three companies and all projects to sign up initially.
- The program is not a hard requirement, but CNCF would like to have more companies and projects to sign up.
- The program incentivizes companies with money and gives them an official reference to self-test and figure out if things are good.
