The TOC does not pick a “winning stack” - i.e., vertically integrated set of projects as a solution for multiple application problems. This means that the CNCF is not promoting a single, monolithic stack of technologies.

CNCF projects may have dependencies on other open source projects that comply with the [CNCF IP policy](https://github.com/cncf/foundation/blob/master/allowed-third-party-license-policy.md), which may be outside the CNCF. Widely-used dependencies are preferred; pluggable dependencies fit well with our principles but are not essential. _Examples: Kubernetes' dependency on etcd, which was not a CNCF project at the time Kubernetes was brought into the CNCF; CNI, which enables pluggable networking dependencies._ CNCF projects may have dependencies on other open source projects that comply with the [CNCF IP policy](https://github.com/cncf/foundation/blob/master/policies-guidance/allowed-third-party-license-policy.md), which may be outside the CNCF.

The CNCF is a badge of quality and velocity. CNCF projects should be on a path to being tools that users can trust, broadly work together, and that meet other cloud native criteria. But the CNCF badge does not mean “this is the standard tool”. The CNCF is a badge of quality and velocity.
