## Description:
- Apache Karaf provides a modern and polymorphic applications runtime,
multi-purpose (microservices, cloud, IoT, OSGi, etc).
## Issues:
- There are no issues requiring board attention at this time
## Activity:
- The kloud (karaf for the cloud) initiative has been launched. The
first goal is to improve the tooling to easily start with Karaf for both
developers and devops.
- Karaf Vineyard moved forward but not as fast as planned. The
donation proposal should happen soon.
- Karaf 4.3.x branch has started, starting to upgrade to OSGi R7
specification and implement the "kloud initiative" features and
improvements.
## Health report:
- More interaction with other projects have been built. Especially, we
are helping the jclouds community to upgrade to latest Karaf release.
- We started an effort to have regular cadence in Karaf releases.
