The CNCF Cloud Native Glossary Project is intended to be used as a reference for common terms used when talking about cloud native applications. You can view and download the current version here.
To make it easier to work on individual terms, we've moved them into individual files in the definitions folder. Each term falls under one of three categories: 1) technology, 2) property, and 3) concept.

The Cloud Native Glossary was initiated by the CNCF Marketing Committee (Business Value Subcommittee), including contributions from Catherine Paganini, Chris Aniszczyk, Daniel Jones, Jason Morgan, Katelin Ramer and Mike Foster.
