Part of the nonprofit Linux Foundation, the CNCF hosts critical components of the global technology infrastructure, bringing together top developers, end users, and vendors. The CNCF seeks to foster and sustain an ecosystem of open source, vendor-neutral projects to make cloud-based innovations accessible.

Part of establishing the partnership hinged on Octo’s engineers earning certification in Kubernetes administration and development. “Because of the prerequisite to have Kubernetes-certified personnel, the partnership also shows we have the in-depth experience with containerization, Kubernetes, and service based software architectures necessary to meet the demands of modern software solutions,” Wells said.
“Becoming a Kubernetes Certified Service Provider (KCSP) was one big step toward becoming a CNCF Silver Partner,” said Dan Montgomery, Technical Director at Octo. “We are proud of the talented engineers Octo attracts and their desire to excel in their field by continuing their education, earning certifications, and going above and beyond to serve our customers. Our CNCF certification testifies not just to Octo being a modern software company, but to our people who have committed to making it so.”
