Cloud Foundry (CF) has evolved significantly, particularly in its relationship with Kubernetes (K8s). Cue proverb about change being the only constant. Initially seen as separate entities, CF and K8s gradually integrated, with projects like KubeCF and Eirini enabling CF to run natively on K8s. This evolution led to the development of cf-for-k8s, a cloud native CF distribution that embraces Kubernetes components and offers a streamlined developer experience.
