You may have heard of the CNCF because their first hosted projected is Kubernetes, which natively supports Prometheus metrics.
The CNCF is also part of the Linux Foundation's Collaborative Projects, which houses other organizations like Let's Encrypt and Node.
What amazes me about this ecosystem is the corporate partners working together in a nonprofit manner to advance open source software. I think many of us imagined a bleaker, proprietary future. There's still a long way to go.
