endusers.cncf.io is the new home of the CNCF End User Community: the practitioners, architects, and organizations adopting cloud native technologies to build things that matter.

What lives here​

• Reference Architectures — real architectures from real organizations, reviewed through the End User TAB's submission process and imported directly from the CNCF architecture repository. Not whiteboard idealizations — the teams, trade-offs, and lessons behind production systems at organizations like Adobe, CERN, and Swisscom.
• Community — the End User Technical Advisory Board (TAB), industry-focused End User Groups, meeting schedules, and every channel where end users compare notes.
• End User Awards — the organizations CNCF has recognized for running cloud native at its best, from Bloomberg in 2018 to SNCF in 2026.
• Metrics — a transparent snapshot of ecosystem and end-user activity, generated from authoritative public sources. If we can't source a number, we leave it out.
• Events — where the community gathers at KubeCon + CloudNativeCon, including the End User Summit and End User Reception.

Who this is for​

If you operate cloud native systems in production — whether you're evaluating your first CNCF project or running a thousand clusters — this site is built for you. You don't need to be a CNCF member organization to learn from the architectures, join the Slack conversations, or show up at community meetings.

How to get involved​

• Join the #enduser channel in CNCF Slack
• Subscribe to the End User mailing list
• Attend the TAB public meeting, held the third Monday of every month
• Share your architecture through the reference architecture submission process
• Bring your organization into the End User Community

The best thing about the cloud native community has always been how freely it shares what it learns. This site exists to make that sharing easier. Welcome.
