The Cloud Native Glossary, found at glossary.cncf.io, is a project of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) that aims to explain cloud native concepts in clear and simple language, making them accessible to everyone, regardless of technical background. It’s a community-driven effort focused on building a shared vocabulary for cloud native technologies, and it actively localizes the glossary into multiple languages.
The glossary avoids technical jargon and buzzwords, using simple language and relatable examples. It also includes definitions for CNCF-specific terms and project organization.
