Cloud Native Computing Foundation Announces Dragonfly's Graduation

CNCF announced Dragonfly's graduation recently, reflecting its production readiness for large-scale container and AI model distribution in San Francisco.
Community expansion and governance reforms drove Dragonfly toward readiness for CNCF graduation, with contributor growth up 500%, from 45 to 271 across over 130 companies, supported by governance work.
Performance data show bandwidth savings up to 90% and launch-time reductions from minutes to seconds, with Dragonfly supporting tens of millions of container launches per day in production and deployments across several 10K-node Kubernetes clusters at Ant Group.
Enterprises using Dragonfly report faster image delivery, and the roadmap targets RDMA-based model distribution to improve AI model weight throughput, with adoption by Ant Group, Alibaba Cloud, Datadog, DiDi and Kuaishou.
Planned work includes standards and acceleration features to serve CI/CD, edge computing and AI scenarios under Cloud Native Computing Foundation support, adding automatic updates and fault recovery for stability.
