Hello,

The Keptn project (www.keptn.sh) is looking for TOC sponsors to enter Sandbox stage. Keptn is a control plane to enable multi-stage delivery automation with quality gates as well as declarative operations automation. Keptn itself is fully declarative and acts as a choreography layer for CNCF projects like:

• Kubernetes (multi-stage delivery creation and orchestration)
• Prometheus (automatic configuration)
• Argo ( trigger Argo delivery based on quality gates)
• Helm (automatically manage and update Helm charts for multi-stage delivery)
• Envoy (currently via Istio – for traffic routing and configuration)

The Keptn control plane can easily be extended via custom (Kubernetes) services. Examples include:

• Slack
• Microsoft Team
• Argo
• Prometheus
• Atlassian Jira
• Neoload
• Jenkins
• Unleash
• ….

Keptn also comes with a specification of tool-independent lifecycle events (https://github.com/keptn/spec) that are also part of the CDF Interoperability work.

Core concepts behind Keptn are explained in these two blog posts:
