As a refresher, let's remind ourselves about the entire Kubernetes system, so we can understand conceptually where the ecosystem referred to in this chapter sits:
In this chapter, we're talking about the top, greenest layer in the preceding diagram. This layer is made up of hundreds of companies and products that power the software and frameworks needed to run Kubernetes at scale. You can find the highest level of grouping of this layer in a couple of places:
- The first place to check is the Kubernetes Community GitHub repository:
- You can find the repository at https://github.com/kubernetes/community, and it's a good starting point for anyone who's interested in joining the code-powered portions of the Kubernetes system. In the preceding diagram, consider the layers nucleus through interface, that is, layers one through four. Here's where we'll find the Special Interest Groups (SIGs), which will allow us to branch us out into the ecosystem layer where we can explore the supporting...
