    Supporting Open Source Foundations and Platforms

    Apache Software Foundation Partnership

    Apache Software Foundation Partnership

    The Apache Software Foundation represents the world’s largest open source foundation, stewarding over 350 open-source projects used by organizations across every industry. Apache projects like Kafka, Hadoop, Spark, and Airflow have become essential infrastructure for data processing, machine learning, and cloud computing workloads worldwide.

    ​Computeman provides infrastructure support to the Apache Foundation, enabling its distributed community of thousands of volunteer developers to collaborate effectively on critical open source projects. We contribute computing resources that power Apache’s development infrastructure,

    OpenStack and Cloud Infrastructure Projects

    OpenStack represents one of the three most active open source projects globally, controlling large pools of compute, storage, and networking resources through open APIs. Organizations worldwide rely on OpenStack to build private and public cloud infrastructure, with over 180 OpenStack-powered data centers operating globally.

    Computeman supports OpenStack development by providing infrastructure resources enabling the community to test new features, validate compatibility across hardware configurations, and maintain continuous integration pipelines. Our contribution helps ensure OpenStack remains a viable alternative to proprietary cloud solutions, maintaining vendor-neutral, open infrastructure capabilities.

    Cloud Native Computing Foundation Support

    The Cloud Native Computing Foundation oversees critical container and orchestration projects including Kubernetes, Prometheus, and Envoy, with contributions from over 219,000 community members. These projects form the foundation of modern microservices architectures deployed across the industry.

    Computeman collaborates with CNCF projects, providing infrastructure resources supporting the development and testing of cloud-native technologies. This ensures that developers building containerized applications have robust open infrastructure platforms for innovation.
