CNCF charter refers to a reference architecture

Open craigbox opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

Is the CNCF still maintaining a "reference architecture"?

I'm running a CNCF training session for my team. In looking at the "Role of the CNCF" section of the foundation charter, it says:

(d) Serve the community by making the technology accessible and reliable.

i. The foundation seeks to offer up a fully integrated and qualified build of each of the constituent pieces, on a well-defined cadence across the reference architecture.

Searching for the reference architecture, I could only find old slides with some strange content and an inactive mailing list.

I believe the concept of the "landscape" has largely supplanted a reference architecture, and do wonder if section 2d of the CNCF charter is now out of date?

This also seems to be a bit in contradiction to the TOC principal of No Kingmakers https://github.com/cncf/toc/blob/main/PRINCIPLES.md#no-kingmakers--one-size-does-not-fit-all

This now falls under the End User TAB responsibilities outlined in the charter and they are actively reviewing and publishing them.
