# Kubernetes Graduation Application
|
||
|
||
Kubernetes was the project that motivated the creation of the CNCF,
|
||
and was its first project. It has sustained a fast pace of growth of
|
||
contributors, contributing organizations, and users, and now operates
|
||
at massive scale. The project's governance and community-management
|
||
practices continue to evolve and mature as the project grows, but the
|
||
[Kubernetes Steering Committee](https://github.com/kubernetes/steering/blob/master/README.md#members)
|
||
unanimously believes that Kubernetes fulfills all the incubating and graduation criteria.
|
||
|
||
1. Document that it is being used successfully in production by at
|
||
least three independent end users which, in the TOC’s judgement, are
|
||
of adequate quality and scope.
|
||
* https://kubernetes.io/case-studies
|
||
|
||
2. Have a healthy number of committers. A committer is defined as
|
||
someone with the commit bit; i.e., someone who can accept
|
||
contributions to some or all of the project.
|
||
* Kubernetes is so large, with thousands of contributors and nearly 100 repositories,
|
||
that we had to develop our [own mechanism](https://github.com/kubernetes/community/blob/master/contributors/guide/owners.md)
|
||
to manage approval permissions. We have hundreds of approvers, listed in more than 4000
|
||
[OWNERS files across the project](https://github.com/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=org%3Akubernetes+filename%3AOWNERS&type=Code).
|
||
|
||
3. Demonstrate a substantial ongoing flow of commits and merged contributions
|
||
* [Devstats](https://k8s.devstats.cncf.io/d/000000025/prs-merged-repository-groups?orgId=1&var-period=m&var-repogroups=All) shows that we have thousands of PRs merged per month.
|
||
|
||
4. Have committers from at least two organizations.
|
||
* Yes, uncountably many, within the steering committee, maintainers, approvers, and reviewers (kubernetes/kubernetes and other repositories).
|
||
* [PR authors by company](https://k8s.devstats.cncf.io/d/000000022/prs-authors-companies-histogram?orgId=1)
|
||
* See also [steering committee diversity requirements](https://github.com/kubernetes/steering)
|
||
|
||
5. Have achieved and maintained a Core Infrastructure Initiative Best Practices Badge.
|
||
* [Badge](https://bestpractices.coreinfrastructure.org/projects/569)
|
||
|
||
6. Adopt the CNCF Code of Conduct.
|
||
* The CNCF adopted the [Kubernetes Code of Conduct](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/blob/master/code-of-conduct.md)
|
||
|
||
7. Explicitly define a project governance and committer process. This preferably is laid out in a GOVERNANCE.md file and references an OWNERS.md file showing the current and emeritus committers.
