At a CDEventscon event this week, the Continuous Delivery Foundation (CDF) announced it is hosting a CDEvents project through which it hopes to create a vendor-neutral specification for defining the format of event data across multiple services, platforms and systems.
Andrea Frittoli, open source developer advocate at IBM, co-creator of the CDEvents project and member of the CDF technical oversight committee, said the open source consortium is launching this initiative to foster interoperability across continuous delivery (CD) platforms. In the context of the CDF, that mission spans both continuous integration and continuous deployment platforms that are subsets of CD.
