A flurry of the tech world’s great and good signed up the Cloud Native Computing Foundation yesterday [theregister.co.uk], and kicked off a technical board to review submissions – which will be tested and fattened up on a vast Intel-based “computer farm”.

Vendors declared their intent to form the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) earlier this year, under the auspices of the Linux Foundation. Just to avoid confusion, the (cloud native) foundation reckons “Cloud native applications are container-packaged, dynamically scheduled and microservices-oriented".

Hence the foundation said it "seeks to improve the overall developer experience, paving the way for faster code reuse, improved machine efficiency, reduced costs and increases in the overall agility and maintainability of applications".

Platinum members of the organisation include upstarts such as Cisco, Intel, Google, Huawei, IBM, Red Hat and Intel, as well as Docker, Joyent and CoreOS. And if you’re concerned about user representation, you’ll be pleased to know Goldman Sachs is a silver level member.

"Goldman Sachs is a silver level member." Are we comforted?
