Struggling to figure out what "cloud native" actually means. Unfortunately their own web site doesn't say and the CNCF web site they link to leaves me none the wiser.

At a guess they are talking about applications being built from the ground up to dynamically allocate resources using cloud providers APIs directly rather than relying on an assumption fixed resources are already provisioned and the application runs within them.

I wonder if I'm right ...

There are a bunch of OSS that solve problems when running distributed scale out workloads in "the cloud". For example prometheus is a metric db for storing monitoring data.

Ceph is a storage backend. Most of them tend to be built for or work well with kubernetes.
