== Kubernetes Proposal

*Name of project:* Kubernetes

*Description*

Kubernetes is an open source system for managing https://kubernetes.io/docs/concepts/overview/what-is-kubernetes/#why-containers[containerized applications] across multiple hosts, providing basic mechanisms for deployment, maintenance, and scaling of applications. Kubernetes will serve as a cluster manager for the CNCF ecosystem.

*Statement on alignment with CNCF mission*:
 
Kubernetes has been offered as a seed technology to the CNCF and meets the criteria of a cloud native system (container packaged, dynamically managed and micro-services oriented). The Kubernetes community is looking forward joining the foundation to help establish neutral governance and foster the growth of its ecosystem. Currently, the Kubernetes community is growing with over 70 committers, nearly 700 contributors and 18 releases.  Release 1.2 is expected in mid March.
