How to understand Kubernetes software consistency authentication, many novices are not very clear about this, in order to help you solve this problem, the following editor will explain for you in detail, people with this need can come to learn, I hope you can gain something.

What is software consistency?

We know that some open source software licenses are very loose, which means that vendors can transform open source software for commercial use. If an open source software is modified by multiple vendors, it is as if there are many branches of the same open source software, and products developed based on these branches often face compatibility and portability problems.

Compatibility: products based on Kubernetes 1.0, for example, may not be able to upgrade the new version smoothly in the future, and even if the community provides new features, it will be difficult to upgrade seamlessly.

Portability: for platform software such as Kubernetes, the products developed are often platform products, and end users may not be able to migrate to other products smoothly once they use one product.

The so-called software consistency simply means that all vendors use the same open source software or open source software core.

Software Conformance Certification Program

For open source software, software consistency is particularly important, which can avoid division and enable vendors to focus on promoting software development together rather than on their own.

In 2017, CNCF launched the Kubernetes conformance certification program. CNCF provides a set of testing tools for manufacturers to test their own products according to the operation instructions and upload the test report to the CNCF community. After CNCF examines the test report, it will issue a certificate to the qualified enterprises.

The issued certificate will have the following logo, which can be used as the selling point of the product:

What are the benefits of software consistency certification for the community

As far as the community is concerned, we can continue to attract manufacturers to work together on the ecological development of open source, so as to ensure the continuous evolution of open source software.

For enterprises,

For enterprises, obtaining Kubernetes consistency certification represents CNCF's recognition of their own products to a certain extent, which can improve the market competitiveness of enterprises.

In addition, for enterprises that have obtained consistency certification, CNCF will present the Logo of the enterprise on its official website, which can also enhance the popularity of the enterprise.

For users

As far as users are concerned, users are more at ease in choosing products, and they do not have to worry that once they choose the products of one manufacturer, they will be subject to that manufacturer, so it is difficult to switch to the products of other manufacturers.

Therefore, users are more likely to choose enterprises that have obtained consistency certification to cooperate.
