+# CNCF Infrastructure Lifecycle Initiative
+
+Creation issue: [#1631](https://github.com/cncf/toc/issues/1631)
+
+## Description
+
+Develop a framework via a whitepaper for managing the lifecycle of infrastructure in public, private, or hybrid cloud environments based on cloud-native principles. This framework will guide end-users in managing infrastructure to ensure it is secure, resilient, manageable, sustainable, and observable.
+
+Working has already begun on writing the whitepaper, as we are a Working Group under the TAG App Delivery We have progressed recently from the outline stage to the content stage as per TOC tech paper guideline, and would like to continue this work.
+
+## Objective
+
+Develop a framework for managing the lifecycle of infrastructure in public, private, or hybrid cloud environments through a whitepaper.
+
+Future deliverables could include a subproject for Infrastructure Lifecycle or additional initiatives that dig deeper into sub-categories such as Infrastructure-as-Code.
+
+## Logistics
+
+This initiative is driven by Bruno Schaatsbergen (@bschaatsbergen) and Thomas Schuetz (@thschue) led by Dylan Page (@GenPage). The initiative meets every second Monday at 1400UTC on the [TAG Infrastructure Calendar](https://zoom-lfx.platform.linuxfoundation.org/meetings/tag-infrastructure?view=list).
