|
*Name of project:* Cortex
|
|
|
|
*Description:*
|
|
|
|
Cortex is a horizontally scalable, highly available, and multitenant SaaS service that is compatible with Prometheus and offers a long-term storage solution.
|
|
|
|
For teams looking for a Prometheus solution that offers the following over vanilla Prometheus:
|
|
|
|
* Long-term metrics storage in a variety of cloud based and on-prem NoSQL data stores
|
|
* Tenancy model supporting commercial SaaS offerings or large/multiple Kubernetes installations requiring data separation
|
|
* On-demand Prometheus instance provisioning
|
|
* A highly-available architecture that benefits from cloud-native architectures run with Kubernetes
|
|
* A highly scalable Prometheus experience that scales out, not up
|
|
* The ability to handle large metric topologies in a single instance without the need for federation
|
|
|
|
Cortex was presented at the https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/190oIFgujktVYxWZLhLYN4q8p9dtQYoe4sxHgn4deBSI/edit#slide=id.g25ca91f87f_0_0[CNCF TOC meeting on 6/5/2018]
|
|
|
|
*Statement on alignment with CNCF mission:*
|
|
|
|
Cortex fully supports the CNCF's goal for scalability, "Ability to support all scales of deployment, from small developer centric environments to the scale of enterprises and service providers."
|
|
|
|
There are many different ways to provide a scalable and available metric system for Kubernetes. Cortex with it's tenancy model combined with the both the high-availability and horizontally scalability architecture serves this goal directly.

|
*Preferred maturity level:* sandbox
|
|
|
|
The CNCF sandbox was designed for just this kind of project. Specifically, the Cortex community is looking for the following from being in the sandbox:
|
|
|
|
* Encourage public visibility of experiments or other early work that can add value to the CNCF mission
|
|
* Visibility for a new projects designed to extend one or more CNCF projects with functionality
|
|
* The Sandbox should provide a beneficial, neutral home for such projects, in order to foster collaborative development.
