This is a list of "things" in the cloud native space. Some of them are from CNCF members and some aren't. Some are paid products and services while other things are entirely free and open source.

Many (most?) of the things are tied to organizations and they try to show information on those organizations.

The CNCF doesn't have certified partners. It is a sub-foundation of the Linux Foundation and a non-profit. The CNCF does have members. Some of them are vendors and some are end users. Things listed in the landscape don't need to be from a member.

There are certified Kubernetes products/projects listed on the landscape: https://www.cncf.io/certification/software-conformance/

FYI it's also an open source project that others can use and build upon! https://github.com/cncf/landscapeapp

thought it just me! - cool looking graphic, but couldn't make heads or tails out of what I would use it for.
