The Cloud Native Network Function WG (CNF WG) operates under the aegis of CNCF. The focus of the CNF WG is to define the process around certifying the cloud nativeness of networking applications, aka CNFs. We collaborate with the CNF Conformance test suite project who work on the mechanics of the conformance tests.

The goal for the group is to create a software conformance program that any network application implementation can use to demonstrate that it is conformant and interoperable with cloud native principles.

The CNF WG Charter futher outlines the scope of our group activities as well as intended deliverables.
