CD Foundation Welcoming New Members
Codefresh, Fidelity Investments, Octopus Deploy, and Shipa are
joining the CD Foundation as new members. They join premier members
Capital One, CircleCI, Cloudbees, Fujitsu, Google, Huawei, IBM,
jFrog, Netflix, and Salesforce, as well as the broader open source
CI/CD community, in helping to strengthen the growth and evolution
of continuous delivery models.
"We welcome our new members and look forward to including their
expertise and guidance in helping to build CI/CD processes that
benefit the industry as a whole. It's not easy work, but it's
incredibly important, and it cannot be accomplished by one company
alone," said Dan Lorenc, Technical
Oversight Committee (TOC) Chair. "CDF is the way to help guide
technical development and governance structures to make sure that
CI/CD and DevOps continue to develop quickly and efficiently."
Codefresh - Codefresh is a continuous delivery and collaboration
platform for containers and microservices. It is a modern CI/CD
platform designed for software development teams building and
deploying cloud-native applications using Docker, Serverless, and
Kubernetes. Container-based pipelines provide better flexibility,
easier pipeline creation, and dozens of speed optimizations.
"We are excited to join the CD Foundation. Codefresh is built
specifically for microservices and cloud-native apps, and by
contributing to the direction of open-source CI/CD development
through the CD Foundation, our customers will benefit now and into
the future," said Dan Garfield,
Chief Technology Evangelist, Codefresh. "No team can effectively
practice DevOps for microservices without a cohesive strategy and
the right tools, and we are focused on making it easier to get the
right strategy and informative tools that our customers can
implement and trust."
Fidelity Investments - Fidelity Investments offers a range of
services including fund distribution and investment advice, wealth
management, life insurance, retirement services, and securities
execution and clearance. It manages equity, fixed income, and
balanced mutual funds for individual investors, businesses,
financial advisors, and institutional investors. It is one of the
largest investment management firms in the United States, with over 26 million
customers, $6.5 trillion in total
customer assets, and more than $2.4
trillion in global assets under management. Fidelity will
help build industry specifications and guidance around pipelines,
workflows and other CI/CD areas, as well as provide foundational
support for CI/CD tools.
Octopus Deploy - Octopus Deploy automates application deployment
with both on-prem or cloud solutions. It takes over where your CI
server ends, providing release management, deployment automation,
and operations tools. Octopus Deploy helps developers and
operations teams automate software deployments. It also covers
audit and compliance requirements.
"Application deployment goes hand in hand with CI/CD, and we are
pleased to join the CD Foundation to help support and strengthen
the community. Becoming a member allows us to guide the roadmap and
continue to move CI/CD forward, which directly benefits Octopus
users," said Paul Stovell, CEO and
Founder of Octopus Deploy. "We'll be at CDCon, if you want to find
out more about release management, come by and say hello."
Shipa - Shipa provides a cloud native application management
framework for running mission-critical applications on Kubernetes.
Shiga provides centralized control over configurations to reduce
the risk of misconfigurations, and provides an application-centric
way to develop, deploy and manage cloud native applications without
requiring Kubernetes expertise.
"We at Shipa believe in the mission of the CD Foundation which
is this strong vision of vendor-neutral governance with a focus on
efficiency and security. By becoming a member and participating
actively, including recently open sourcing our own deployment
engine, we are both improving the ecosystem for our customers and
supporting the broader CI/CD community. This is a win-win for Shipa
customers," said Bruno Andrade, CEO,
Shipa. "Looking forward to participating in CDCon!"
New Executive Director
CI/CD open source community leader Tracy
Miranda has joined the CDF as its new Executive Director.
Miranda has worked closely with the CDF since the creation of the
foundation.She will work closely with the CDF hosted projects
Jenkins, JenkinsX, Spinnaker, Screwdriver, and Tekton, and help
members and the wider Continuous Delivery CI/CD community improve
their software development security and speed when creating
cloud-native, legacy infrastructure, mobile, IoT, and bare metal
applications.

Community Growth
Community growth in 2020 has been extremely strong across the
board. Of the four founding projects, Jenkins moved to Graduation
status, Jenkins X started a Linux Foundation training course
(LFS268 CI/CD with Jenkins X) to introduce the fundamentals of
Jenkins X, Tekton moved to beta, and Spinnaker held its Spinnaker
LIVE event, boasting 1,183 contributors in the last year. And
Screwdriver, simplified interfacing for Jenkins originally
developed by Yahoo, now Verizon Media, joined as our first
Incubation Project.
Our CI/CD meetups are now at 27,000+ members in 68 groups
spread across 30 countries! There's probably a CI/CD meetup nearby
you. Come participate!
The CDF Community Ambassador Cohort of 2020 has 50 confirmed
ambassadors and plans to announce an additional 50 by end of year.
The goal is to round out the 2020 cohort to 100!
We also have Special Interest Groups (SIGs) in Interoperability,
Security, and Machine Learning (MLOps) as ways for people to
participate in specific areas of expertise or interest.
And, this year for the first time, the CD Foundation produced
our first CD Foundation Interactive Landscape to communicate the
state of the community and clarify the tools needed to adopt a
fully automated CD process.
