InfoQ Homepage News Radius is Now a Cloud Native Compute Foundation (CNCF) Sandbox Project

The Microsoft Azure Incubations Team recently announced the approval of Radius as a Cloud Native Compute Foundation (CNCF) sandbox project. Radius is a cloud-native, cloud-agnostic application platform that the CNCF has recognized as having the potential to contribute to the cloud-native ecosystem.

Radius empowers developers and platform engineers to collaborate easily in delivering and managing cloud-native applications that align with corporate best practices for cost, operations, and security. It was initiated by the Microsoft Azure Incubations Team, the same group behind CNCF projects like KEDA (CNCF Graduated), Dapr (CNCF Incubating), and Copacetic (CNCF Sandbox).

Since the public release, the Radius team and community added enhancements like deeper integration with Kubernetes and Helm, the introduction of the Radius Dashboard for visualizing application graphs, and the rollout of Radius simulated environments for improved development and testing workflows. Additionally, support for Terraform Recipes from private git repositories expands the platform's flexibility and usability for enterprises.
