        mission_statement: >
          The purpose of the Green Reviews Subproject is to help CNCF projects to
          review their cloud native sustainability footprint. Through this review,
          projects aiming for graduation can show how their project uses resources
          at scale. The Green Reviews pipeline can integrate an environmental
          sustainability project review in each release cycle. Furthermore, this
          project strives to empower end users to assess the sustainability of the
          cloud native workloads within their systems.

          To support CNCF projects, project maintainers and contributors, there is
          a need for a systematic approach to assess every project's sustainability
          footprint and energy consumption. Implementing a structured review process
          for this purpose would greatly benefit the CNCF ecosystem, establishing it
          as a best practice. Such a process would enable stakeholders to evaluate
          and enhance the sustainability of CNCF projects, promoting their long-term
          viability and environmental responsibility.

    tag_subprojects:
      - name: Security Assessments
        mission_statement: |
          The TAG-Security Security Assessment Subproject is designed to accelerate
          the adoption of cloud native technologies based on the below goals and
          assumptions:

          1. Reduce risk across the ecosystem

             The primary goal is to minimize the risk of malicious attacks and
             accidental privacy breaches. This process achieves this in two ways:

              * Improve detection and resolution of vulnerabilities through a clear
                communication process.
              * Enhance domain expertise in participating projects via collaborative
                assessments.

          2. Accelerate adoption of cloud native technologies

             Security assessments are essential but time-intensive processes that
             each company, organization, and project must perform to meet their
             unique commitments to users and stakeholders. In open source, finding
             security-related information can be overwhelmingly difficult and
             time-consuming. The CNCF TAG-Security Security Assessment Process,
             hereafter “TSSA” Process, aims to enhance the discovery of security
             information and streamline internal and external assessments in multiple
             ways:

              * Consistent documentation to reduce assessment time.
              * Baseline of security information to minimize Q&A.
              * A clear security profile rubric for organizations to align their
                risk profiles with the project’s and allocate resources effectively
                (for assessment and needed project contribution).
              * Structured metadata for navigation, grouping, and cross-linking.

          This process is expected to raise awareness of how open source projects
          impact cloud native security; however, separate activities may be needed
          to achieve that purpose using materials generated by the TSSA, known as
          artifacts or the TSSA package.

    tag_subprojects:
      - name: Batch
        mission_statement: |
          To enhance collaboration among projects, improve interoperability, and empower users to efficiently leverage batch systems in cloud-native environments.

          In scope:

          To reduce fragmentation in the k8s batch ecosystem: congregate leads and users from different external and internal projects and user groups (CNCF TAGs, k8s sub-projects focused on batch-related features such as topology-aware scheduling) in the batch ecosystem to gather requirements, validate designs and encourage reutilization of core K8s APIs.

          The following recommendations for enhancements:

          * Additions to the batch API group, currently including Job and CronJob resources that benefit batch use cases such as HPC, AI/ML, data analytics and CI.
          * Primitives for job-level queueing, not limited to the k8s Job resource. Long-term, this could include multi-cluster support.
          * Primitives to control and maximize utilization of resources in fixed-size clusters (on-prem) and elastic clusters (cloud).
          * Benchmarking models for Batch systems
          * Data Locality
          * User Stories
          * Scheduling support for specialized hardware (Accelerators, NUMA, Networking, etc.)

          Out of scope:

          * Addition of new API kinds that serve a specialized type of workload. The focus should be on general APIs that specialized controllers can build on top of.
          * Uses of the batch APIs as support for serving workloads (eg. backups, upgrades, migrations). These can be served by existing SIGs.
          * Proposals that duplicate the functionality of core kubernetes components (job-controller, kube-scheduler, cluster-autoscaler).
          * Job workflows or pipelines. Mature third party frameworks serve these use cases with the current kubernetes primitives. But additional primitives to support these frameworks could be in scope.

          Deliverable(s) or exit criteria:

          * Maintaining a landscape document for currently available projects (already published-relocated and maintained)
          * Data Locality project-deliverables TBD, but something that helps in this space (already in process)
          * Benchmarking suite for Batch systems (already in process)
          * User stories published doc for Batch systems (already in process)
