CNCF Landscape is continuously evolving as more new projects are emerging either in the category of cloud-native, CI-CD, container runtime, or more.
The main source of these projects is the Open Source contributors that help to drive these projects from Sandbox to the Graduate ones by providing valuable feedback, identifying bugs and addressing real-world use cases.
However, there are times when you need to find the right Open Source tools and get help from the Community to get the best results for your project.
In this talk, you will get an understanding about the the Grafana Open Source Eco-system and how it is helping the CNCF Community/Projects. This will be a beginner-level talk, but everyone is welcome to join no matter how much experience you might have.
