Relationship with CNCF

The Kubernetes project is a CNCF project, graduated in March 6, 2018.

The Steering Committee is the designated top-level project leadership body which serves as the project's interface to the foundation (as opposed to all of the maintainers of all repositories). The Kubernetes project aims to satisfy the CNCF graduation criteria, but is self-governing, and reserves the right to resolve conflicts within its community, set its own governance policies, define its own scope, determine how and when official releases of Kubernetes are made and what they include, specify its own conformance criteria, maintain its own marketing functions (e.g., its blog and Twitter account), establish its own resource access policies, manage its own assets (including trademark enforcement boundaries), accept contributions of additional subprojects, and so on. The Kubernetes project expects the CNCF to provide funds for essential assets and ongoing activities, requests for which must be approved by the Steering Committee, to provide legal and logistical assistance, and to provide other assistance within the bounds approved by the CNCF Governance Board and Technical Oversight Committee upon request from the Steering Committee.
