Cloud Native Computing Foundation Announces Sumo Logic as Gold Member

Leading machine data analytics platform provider joins CNCF, further advancing real-time application monitoring for the cloud native ecosystem

COPENHAGEN, Denmark – May 2, 2018 – KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe –  The Cloud Native Computing Foundation® (CNCF®), which sustains and integrates open source technologies like Kubernetes® and Prometheus™, today announced that Sumo Logic has joined the Foundation as a Gold Member.

Sumo Logic is a machine data analytics platform that transforms big data into sources of operations, security and compliance intelligence. The company is heavily involved in the open source community, providing native integrations for visualization and optimized analytics for better insights into container based, Kubernetes-powered applications.
