The Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) has accepted OpenMetrics, an open source metrics exposition format and evolution of Prometheus, into its Sandbox project. This move is seen as a positive step for collaboration and further integration with the broader vendor ecosystem, particularly given Prometheus' widespread adoption in the industry. The Prometheus exposition format will continue to be supported by InfluxData, which will also adopt OpenMetrics as a first-class citizen, moving the standard forward with other open source companies and organizations. The project's progress can be followed on GitHub, where discussions about future developments and contributions are actively taking place.
