The OpenInfra Foundation is a prominent open-source organization dedicated to fostering a global community focused on building and operating open infrastructure software. With over 110,000 members across 187 countries, the Foundation serves as a cornerstone for innovation in cloud and infrastructure technologies. It emerged from the OpenStack project, which was initiated in 2012 to address the growing needs of virtualized environments and has since evolved to embrace a broader range of technologies including AI/Machine Learning, Edge Computing, and containerization.

OpenInfra Foundation hosts critical projects such as OpenStack, Airship, and Kata Containers, which facilitate the development and deployment of open infrastructure. The Foundation also provides resources like project hosting and continuous integration tooling, ensuring that members can collaborate effectively in developing open source software. Its mission is supported by initiatives like the OpenInfra Summit and the Superuser publication, which shares insights into combining various open source tools to enhance infrastructure capabilities. Membership is open to all, emphasizing community engagement and contribution to the field of open infrastructure.
