OKTA JOINS THE CNCF TO SHAPE THE FUTURE OF CLOUD COMPUTING

Okta
December 20, 2023

We're thrilled to announce that Okta, the leading independent Identity partner,
is now a proud member of the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF). This
partnership marks a step forward in our commitment to the ever-evolving world of
cloud-native technologies and reaffirms our dedication to providing secure and
seamless Identity and Access Management for the modern digital landscape.

CNCF is at the center of innovation in the cloud-native ecosystem, fostering an
open and collaborative environment for the development and adoption of
cloud-native technologies. With a large and striving community of over 700
members, the CNCF plays a pivotal role in shaping the future of cloud computing.
It’s the organization behind some of the industry’s most influential open-source
projects, including Kubernetes, Prometheus, and Envoy.

Okta benefits from the robustness of several CNCF projects and its operational
model, which is independent of underlying infrastructure. Okta uses projects
like Kubernetes, Containerd, Fluentd, Argos, FluentBit, Helm, Jaeger,
Prometheus, Grpc, and Open Telemetry for several of its Identity products.

In June 2022, Okta made a commitment to the cloud-native space by donating
OpenFGA to the CNCF. OpenFGA is a flexible authorization system, designed for
reliability and low latency at scale. OpenFGA is at the core of Okta Fine
Grained Authorization, a product we announced at Oktane 2023. Several
organizations — including other players in the cloud-native ecosystem, like
Canonical — have already adopted OpenFGA.

“Having open-source projects that are widely used by developers is crucial to
our mission to make cloud-native computing ubiquitous,”Chris Aniszczyk, chief
technology officer of CNCF, says. “Okta’s contribution of the OpenFGA project to
the CNCF sandbox underscores their dedication to this goal. We look forward to
working together to forge a more collaborative, secure and connected cloud
ecosystem.” 

Our journey as a CNCF member is just beginning. On November 6, OpenFGA team
opened a kiosk in the Project Pavillion at KubeCon North America, and they will
be there until November 9. Okta’s Maria Ines Parnisari and Andres Aguiar
delivered a talk there on modernizing authorization for cloud-native
applications with OpenFGA. 

We’re excited to embark on this path of collaboration, innovation, and shared
growth. Together with the CNCF community, we aim to drive progress and help
shape the future of cloud-native technology.
