Metal³ became a CNCF Incubating project

The Metal³ project (pronounced "Metal Kubed") provides a set of tools for managing bare-metal infrastructure using Kubernetes. Its operator, based on Ironic, automates the provisioning of bare-metal servers. It also offers a provider for Cluster API, enabling users to deploy Cluster API-based clusters on top of bare-metal servers.

The project was started in 2019 by Red Hat and was later joined by Ericsson. Since then, many other organisations, including Fujitsu, Ikea, and SUSE, adopted it. The project was accepted into the CNCF Sandbox in September 2020, and two weeks ago, the CNCF TOC voted for its incubation. The official announcement is available here.
