Platforms definition whitepaper ready for review
|
Hi TAG and happy new year! WG Platforms finished 2022 by building the whitepaper described in https://github.com/cncf/tag-app-delivery/issues/246 to define what a cloud-native platform is, why it's valuable, overarching attributes to seek from cloud-native platforms, and the capabilities such a platform should include. We're now preparing to iterate on the final content for this release and publish it in the coming weeks.
Call to action: please share your feedback on the initial proposed content (and publishing framework), all linked from this GitHub "milestone": https://github.com/cncf/tag-app-delivery/milestone/1 For a bit of background: The first goal of the Platforms definition whitepaper is to inform enterprise leaders, enterprise architects, and platform team leaders why they should implement platform engineering and what attributes and capabilities they should seek and evaluate as they implement platforms. A second goal is to provide a framework for us in the WG to dive deeper and seek opportunities for simplification and standardization in the identified capability domains, such as secrets management, observability, data services, etc. Consider joining the wg-platforms Slack channel too for more interactive conversation: https://cloud-native.slack.com/archives/C020RHD43BP For reference, the initial draft of the paper with lots of comments is here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1UDL3E5BqPyDdzV1wek9o8xR-nLJQXEEMU1qIMCgq5cI/ Thanks in advance for your contributions! |

this is actually a really nice validation of the initial assumptions of CNCF, that an industry platform could emerge from collections of loosely coupled cloud native tools.

Hi folks - we'll be reviewing hot topics related to the whitepaper's content and seeking owners for section reviews in a meeting this Tuesday Jan. 17 @ 1600 UTC.
Here's the meeting event page to add to your calendar with agenda and links: https://community.cncf.io/events/details/cncf-tag-app-delivery-presents-review-platforms-whitepaper/ We'd love to learn from your feedback and participation there and/or asynchronously in GitHub and Slack. Thanks! ~Josh |

Hi Aaron, Thanks for the question. This is an extra "working" meeting specifically to focus on the whitepaper *content*. The regularly scheduled meeting couldn't go that deep on hot topics and seeking volunteers for sections. Goal is definitely to be streamlined and avoid extra meetings, we'll be agile and adjust to make people's participation as productive and useful as possible! Thanks!

Hey all, this far I've been an observer and I'm looking forward to participating in meetings going forward. Just want to confirm the date for Tue the 17th, as I had 2nd and 4th Tuesdays in my calendar. If this was already worked out elsewhere, my apologies!
