On July 11, 2026, Cloud Native Community China was officially established. It is the CNCF-recognized cloud native community for China, hosted on the Open Community Groups platform.
China has no shortage of cloud native developers, contributors, and end-user companies, yet we’ve never had an official, unified, continuously-synced community entry point. This launch fills exactly that gap.
About Cloud Native Community China
CNCF has communities across many countries and regions worldwide. Each one connects its local cloud native developers, open source projects, end-user companies, and in-person events. Cloud Native Community China sits alongside these as a peer, together forming CNCF’s global community map.
Cloud native activity in China used to be scattered across city-level meetups, project SIGs, and individual company blogs. It was hard to know where the next worthwhile talk was happening, or what peers were paying attention to. The point of an official community site is to wire all those scattered nodes into one network.
What the Site Is For
The newly launched cncf-china community page does three core things.
Aggregating China’s cloud native events
Meetups, online talks, KubeCon meetups, project SIG meetings, and training sessions all get published here in one place. You no longer have to dig through separate channels to find what’s happening.
Syncing community updates
Project progress, releases, governance updates, and volunteer calls-to-action get pushed out through the community site, giving anyone following cloud native a stable information source.
Receiving notifications and staying connected
Once you join, you can subscribe to notifications and get new events and updates delivered first. For anyone who wants to contribute, meet peers, or keep up with the latest in cloud native, this is the most direct entry point today.
Founding Members
A community’s launch always rests on a group of people willing to carry it at the start. The founding members of Cloud Native Community China come from maintainers of active Chinese cloud native open source projects, end-user company representatives, and community organizers who have run local meetups for years. Most have been deeply involved in the CNCF ecosystem for a long time, across areas like Kubernetes, Istio, HAMi, observability, and AI infrastructure.
For the full, up-to-date founding member roster, check the cncf-china community page. To become a contributor or co-organizer, you can reach them through the community page as well.
Join the Community
If you’re a developer, SRE, or architect in the cloud native space, or your company runs on Kubernetes, Istio, or serverless, joining this community gives you at least three things:
- Never miss an event: All official events are published in one place; just subscribe to notifications.
- Meet peers and project maintainers: A community is fundamentally a human network, and a lot of collaboration starts at a single meetup.
- Find a path into open source: If you want to contribute to CNCF projects but don’t know where to start, the community has ready-made guidance.
Visit Cloud Native Community China, join the community on the page, and subscribe to notifications. Once you’re in, you’ll receive pushes about cloud native events, updates, and community news in China.
Cloud native adoption in China is already large in scale, but the community’s organizational density has room to grow. Establishing Cloud Native Community China is the first step in wiring that momentum into CNCF’s global network. You’re welcome to join.
