The most sought-after factors like the ability of the servers to withstand the failures or disruptions i.e _resilience_, to manually add, remove or configure the resources and acclimate according to the varied usages i.e _scalability_, quick responses in terms of independent/automated scalability i.e _Elasticity_ and _flexibility_ according to customizations are provided by the Cloud-native realm. The benevolent and smart community with its knowledge, skills and professionalism adds to the grandeur of [Cloud Native Computing Foundation Landscape](https://landscape.cncf.io/) by contributing to it. The monumental landscape is a superset of github projects exploiting various tools. The list of CNCF projects below are mainly in Python. The percentage in the list tells how much portion of the project has python in it. The website and links associated with the projects are also mentioned along with the tags of maturity levels like Sandbox, Incubating and Graduated. Check it out !

The maturity level simply dovetail with the _Crossing the Chasm_, a visualized way indicating the adoption of new tech over the time, all the way through early consumers, huge mid-market to rugged change-resistant consumers. Chasm here means the credibility gap. 

I couldn't find such actual list of CNCF Projects on the internet. Although people feel free to delve into the landscape, lads now may not go somewhat bonkers while hunting their niche down LOL !
Anyways, I would tell You how I found this as a rookie.
-Googled the [CNCF Projects Landscape Card Mode](https://landscape.cncf.io/card-mode).
-Clicked on [ENVOY Card](https://landscape.cncf.io/card-mode?selected=envoy).
-Clicked on [Python 1%](https://landscape.cncf.io/card-mode?grouping=no&language=Python) from the ingredients on the left.     All the CNCF Projects that are coded in Python turned up.
-Checked the Cards and filtered the ones which had the lion's share of python in it.

Hope, You find it helpful. 
Cheers !
