LONDON — November 17, 2020 — Jetstack, a Venafi company and Kubernetes product and services provider, today announced that its donation of the cert-manager project to the Cloud Native Computing Foundation® (CNCF®) “Sandbox” has been accepted. cert-manager automates the management of X.509 machine identities within Kubernetes and OpenShift and has become one of the leading community projects in the cloud-native ecosystem
“It’s exciting to see cert-manager join the CNCF Sandbox,” said Matthew Bates, CTO and co-founder of Jetstack. “It’s been several years in the making to get to 1.0, and we’re hugely thankful to a community of over 250 contributors, and many end-users, to get it to where it is today. This is a foundational add-on to many Kubernetes and OpenShift clusters, and the project will benefit from being part of the CNCF and its ecosystem. We look forward to attracting a diverse contributor base and extending our partnership and cooperation with many other projects to further enhance the developer and operator experience.”
cert-manager enables developers to easily request machine identities to secure applications. Certificates can be signed by public and private certificate authorities such as Let’s Encrypt and cert-manager handles the automation of the certificate lifecycle. This means developers can move fast and stay secure, while platform and security teams have control and visibility. The popularity of cert-manager within the Kubernetes community and its utility in a wide range of projects makes cert-manager an ideal project for the CNCF.
Jetstack recently celebrated the v1 releaseofcert-manager—a key milestone in the development of the project. Jetstack was acquired by Venafi, the leader and inventor of machine identity management, in May. Both organizations share a vision of how to deliver machine identity management to developers in modern, cloud-native infrastructures.
