The CNCF Cloud Native Glossary Project is hosted at https://glossary.cncf.io/ and is intended to be used as a reference for common terms when talking about cloud native applications. You can view and download the PDF version here.
You are welcome to use this code for your own glossary project. Here are instructions for creating your own glossary.
If you'd like to help with the glossary we'd love to have your contributions! Please see How to Contribute.
The Cloud Native Glossary was initiated by the CNCF Marketing Committee (Business Value Subcommittee) and includes contributions from Catherine Paganini, Chris Aniszczyk, Daniel Jones, Jason Morgan, Katelin Ramer, Mike Foster, and many more contributors.

The Glossary is maintained by Seokho Son, Noah Ispas, Jihoon Seo, Nate W., and Jorge Castro.
