Most people do not understand the knowledge points of this article "what are the top ten open source projects of cloud origin", so the editor summarizes the following contents, with detailed contents and clear steps, which can be used for reference. I hope you can get something after reading this article. Let's take a look at this "what are the top ten open source projects of cloud origin".

Kubernetes

Kubernetes, you are all too familiar with, it is the first project of CNCF, as an open source container choreography system, the main application and automation container application deployment, expansion and management. It is already the de facto container orchestration standard.

Kubernetes was born in Google, "green out of blue is better than blue". Now it has evolved to v1.18. Kubernetes is widely adopted by suppliers and enterprises both in the local environment and in the cloud environment. On Github, Kubernetes has more than 650000 star, which shows its strong open source influence.

Prometheus

Prometheus is the second managed project to join CNCF. It is born out of SoundCloud and is an open source system monitoring & alarm & time series database toolkit. Prometheus became a hosting program for CNCF in 2016 and graduated in August 2018.

Although Prometheus is not like Kubernetes with golden spoon and Google endorsement, it also has a deep relationship with Google. Because Google uses it as an open source version of its BorgMon monitoring system. As a stand-alone open source project, Prometheus is completely open source and community-driven, and all components are available under the Apache 2 license on GitHub. It currently has more than 30, 000 star in GitHub, the latest version of 2.18.0-rc.1.

Envoy

Envoy is a widely adopted open source network agent designed as a layer 7 edge and service agent for cloud native applications. It was born out of Lyft,Lyft, the second largest ride-hailing company in the United States. Envoy became a hosting program for CNCF in 2017 and graduated in November 2018.

From incubation to graduation, Envoy is one of the fastest growing projects in CNCF, and its growth rate has been ranked in the top three. Envoy is favored by large technology companies and open source organizations. At present, more than 170 companies contribute code to it, including Amazon, Alibaba, Google, IBM and VMware, as well as two foundations, Apache and OpenStack. Currently, Envoy has evolved to version 1.14.1, and GitHub has more than 130000 star.

CoreDNS

CoreDNS is a DNS server solution that can be used both as a stand-alone DNS server and as the default forward DNS server for Kubernetes. Founded by Miek Gieben, a former Google reliability engineer, it was hosted by CNCF as an incubator in 2017 and a graduation program in early 2019.

From incubation to graduation, CoreDNS took only one year, and it replaced Kubernetes's original DNS server kube-dns, and became the core component of Kubernetes because of its stability and security. The latest version of CoreDNS is 1.6.9 GitHub has 6000 star.

Containerd

Containerd was born in the name of Docker,Docker, needless to say. Originally Containerd was the underlying runtime (runtime) manager of the Docker engine. He became a CNCF hosting program in 2017 and graduated from CNCF in 2019. At present, Containerd is widely used as an industry standard container runtime.

So far, more than 150 enterprises and organizations have contributed code from Containerd. After joining CNCF, the amount of its code increases rapidly, which fully reflects its advantages in simplicity, robustness and portability. Containerd currently has 55000 star in Github.

Fluentd

Fluentd is a data collector for a unified logging layer that separates the data source from the back-end system. The largest users of Fluentd use it to collect log data from 50000 servers. It also has a long history and was founded by Sadayuki Furuhashi in 2011. It became a CNCF hosting program in 2016 and graduated from CNCF in April 2019. It is the longest incubation of the 10 graduation programs.

Fluentd was already well-known before he joined CNCF. It has a wide range of plug-ins to connect to different data sources, and more than 5000 data-driven enterprises use Fluentd to collect data. After joining CNCF, more than 1000 companies have provided code contributions to it. The current version is v1.0 and currently has more than 9000 star in Github.

Jaeger

As an end-to-end distributed tracking platform, Jaeger helps enterprises monitor and troubleshoot cloud native architectures. It was born in Uber, became a hosting program for CNCF in 2017 and graduated from CNCF in October 2019.

Jaeger can effectively help enterprises to determine the slow operation of the system and performance degradation, and is widely integrated in the enterprise micro-service architecture. Its latest version is 1.17.1 and currently has more than 10, 000 star on Github.

Vitess

Vitess is a database cluster system for MySQL horizontal expansion. Vitess was born in Youtube in 2010 and has always been a core component of its database infrastructure. It became a hosting program for CNCF in 2018 and graduated from CNCF in November 2019.

The biggest advantage of Vitess is that it can reduce the threshold for enterprises to use MySQL to become cloud native enterprises. Vitess now supports MySQL,Percona and MariaDB databases. Kubernetes has been supporting Kubernetes since its 1.0 release and is now integrated with many other cloud native projects such as etcd,gRPC and Prometheus. The latest version is Vitess 6, which currently has more than 9900 star in Github.

TUF (The Update Framework)

TUF is an open source technology for protecting software update systems, providing a flexible framework and specification. It was first developed in 2009 by Justin Cappos, an associate professor of computer science and engineering at the Denton School of Engineering at New York University. In 2017, TUF became a hosting program for CNCF and graduated from CNCF at the end of 2019.

What is special about TUF is that it is the first project that originated from an academic institution and graduated from CNCF, and Cappos, together with a research team from the University of Michigan Transportation Institute and Southwest Research Institute, developed TUF's automotive application, Uptane,Uptane, which has been widely used by automakers. At present, TUF has become the industry standard to protect the security of software update systems, and many leading cloud native companies have adopted TUF.

Helm

Helm is a package manager for Kubernetes that helps enterprises manage Kubernetes applications such as definition, security, and upgrades. Helm uses charts's packaging format to describe a collection of files for a set of related Kubernetes resources. Helm was founded in Deis in 2015 and was later acquired by Microsoft. In 2018, Helm became a hosting program for CNCF and graduated from CNCF on April 30th, 2020.

Helm already has a wide range of influence in the cloud native domain, and Helm charts downloads are amazing every month. Currently, Helm 3 further lowers the barriers to entry for installing and managing software in Kubernetes, making it more popular. There are currently more than 30, 000 star in Github.
