Fluentd has become the sixth project to graduate from the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF), following in the footsteps of Kubernetes, Prometheus, Envoy, CoreDNS and containerd.

Fluentd is also one of the latest project to graduate from the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF).

It has been two and a half years since Fluentd joined the Foundation. “We’ve seen it (Fluentd) grow beyond a project to a full ecosystem of integrations and third party components,” said Chris Aniszczyk, CTO/COO of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation.

With 4 active maintainers, over 160 contributors and more than 4,400 commits, the CNCF TOC found Fluentd to be ready for graduation. It also has 189 official releases, more than 48 Million Docker Hub pulls, 941 plugins available made by the community and over 7500 Github Stars.

Fluentd was created in 2011 by Sadayuki “Sada” Furuhashi, co-founder of Treasure Data, Inc., as an open source data collector for building a Unified Logging Layer. In November 2016, Fluentd was accepted as CNCF’s sixth hosted project after Kubernetes, Prometheus and OpenTracing.
