As the\ndiversity of the community and its needs has grown, a large ecosystem of extensions to Crossplane's\nfunctionality, known as Providers, has also been established to provision and manage infrastructure\nin a wealth of environments and scenarios. More than 20+ Providers have been published by the\ncommunity at large, with many more expected to be created over time.\n\nSimilarly, a need for Distributions of the Crossplane project has surfaced with its adopters.  As\nthere are many environments, marketplaces, and integrations in which adopters want to install and\nconsume Crossplane, there is a need for a variety of packaged bundles (\"Distributions\") to deliver and consume\nCrossplane in these new targets.\n\nWith this diversity of Providers and Distributions, there comes a need for a consistent set of\nexpectations in their behavior and usage. To this end, a Crossplane Conformance Program has been\nestablished as described in this repository, in order to give end users the confidence that when\nthey use a Certified Crossplane offering, they can rely on a high level of consistent and common\nfunctionality.  This will enable the Crossplane community to continue to grow and thrive among both\nvendors and adopters.\n\n## Certification Types\n\nBoth Distributions of Crossplane as well as Crossplane Providers have a specific certification\nprocess to follow to verify conformance with the program's expectations.  Further details on how to\nverify and submit results for your conformant Distribution or Provider are available in the\n[conformance instructions](instructions.md).\n\n## Updates to the Conformance Program\n\nThis conformance program will evolve over time as the functionality of Crossplane itself evolves, as\nwell as the needs of the community continue to evolve. If you want to contribute ideas to improve,\nextend, or update the conformance process, you are welcome to propose your desired changes by\ncreating an [issue in this repo](https://github.com/cncf/crossplane-conformance/issues).\n\n## Applying for Conformance Certification\n\nAll vendors are invited to submit conformance testing results for review and certification by the\nCNCF, which formally certifies conformant implementations.  Instructions for submitting conformance\nresults can be found on the [conformance instructions](instructions.md) page.\n\nCertification is available for Crossplane versions 1.2 and higher.\n\n## Benefits of Certification\n\nIn addition to providing confidence to end users of your Crossplane Distribution or Provider,\nofferings that certify are able to:\n\n* Proudly display the new Certified Crossplane logo mark on their marketing materials\n* Use Crossplane in their product name by taking advantage of a new combination trademark rule the\n  CNCF adopted for Certified Crossplane providers that keep up to date with their certification\n\n## Recertification\n\nTo ensure the pace of innovation in Crossplane continues and benefits all users, Distributions and\nProviders must complete a recertification each year for the current or previous version of\nCrossplane to remain certified. This ensures that when you see the Certified Crossplane mark on a\nproduct, you’re not only getting something that’s proven conformant, but also contains the latest\nand greatest developments from the community.\n\n## Crossplane Conformance Program Details\n\n* [Instructions](instructions.md)\n* [Terms and Conditions](terms-conditions/terms-and-conditions.md)\n* [Participation Form](participation-form/participation-form.md)\n* Brand Guidelines (coming soon)\n* Logos (coming soon)\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fcncf%2Fcrossplane-conformance","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fcncf%2Fcrossplane-conformance","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fcncf%2Fcrossplane-conformance/lists"}
