+# CNCF TAG Infrastructure
+
+## Mission
+
+To define and advance practices, standards, and assessments related to core cloud native infrastructure areas that support and enable scalable, resilient, secure, and performant cloud native systems, applications, and architectures. This supports the CNCF's technical vision by addressing critical problems faced by adopters and contributing to a robust cloud native ecosystem.
+
+## Scope
+This TAG covers the following sub-domains and topics within its scope:
+- Data
+- Storage
+- Network
+- DNS
+- Compute
+- Service Mesh
+- Infrastructure Lifecycle (includes Infrastructure-as-Code)
+- Edge
+- Sovereignty
+- Load Balancing
+
+## Out of Scope
+
+## Anticipated Deliverables
+Expected outputs of the TAG Infrastructure may include:
+- Subprojects that represent ongoing services or programs requiring stewardship.
+- Initiatives submitted to the TOC that are lightweight, time-bound, and objective-focused units of work. Examples include Cloud Native Disaster Recovery White Paper and multicluster performance optimization analysis.
+- Other outputs consistent with advancing practices in the TAG's scope, such as frameworks, guidelines, or whitepapers. These deliverables are intended to provide services to projects, other TAGs, or the TOC.
+
+## Success Criteria
+Success is based on the effective establishment and operation of Subprojects and Initiatives for the TAG, the creation and dissemination of valuable resources such as best practices and assessments, and the TAG's ability to maintain focus on its defined scope and align with TOC requirements. Success will also involve recruiting new leadership and community members into the TAG to support, drive, and establish deliverables within the TAG’s scope.
+
+TAGs are expected to make incremental progress in identifying and addressing knowledge and technology gaps within the cloud native ecosystem that support projects in driving consistent outcomes for adopters across technologies, best practices, specifications, frameworks, and capabilities in cloud native.
+
+## Coordination
+The TAG Infrastructure will coordinate with various stakeholders within the CNCF ecosystem:
+
+- CNCF Projects: The TAG provides services to projects and its work helps align projects within the CNCF ecosystem.This coordination ensures alignment across the foundation and provides pathways for community focuses to be supported
+- Other TAGs: Coordination is essential as TAGs serve needs across projects and other TAGs.
+- TOC Subprojects: TAG leadership participates in TOC Subprojects like Project Reviews and Contributor Strategy.
+- Community Groups: Community Groups are encouraged to discuss initiative ideas and may submit applications for initiatives within a TAG.
+
+## Alignment with the CNCF TOC Charter
+The TAG Infrastructure charter is directly aligned with the CNCF TOC charter. The TOC is the technical governing body responsible for maintaining the technical vision and driving common practices across projects. The TOC's vision is problem-centric, encouraging projects to solve challenges faced by adopters. By focusing on fundamental infrastructure problems such as Data, Storage, Network, Compute, and Service Mesh, the TAG Infrastructure directly addresses significant problems faced by cloud native adopters and projects in building and managing their underlying infrastructure. The TAG's work in defining practices, conducting assessments (as shown in example Subprojects and Initiatives), and potentially creating guidelines contributes to driving common practices across the ecosystem, as mandated by the TOC. The TAG's work in defining best practices, frameworks, and performing assessments contributes to driving common practices and aligning projects within the ecosystem, as mandated by the TOC.
