The operator pulled VMware’s platform that had been core to its unique open network architecture since its inception for Wind River’s Studio Operator platform.

Purpose-built multicloud networking offers better performance and reliability, distributing traffic across multiple clouds and diverse network paths.

“My personal, anecdotal experiences this last year has been a lot of the emotional, visceral reactions to what's happened," Red Hat's Andrew Sullivan said.

"[Customers] want something different and, frankly, the incumbents are not delivering," Nokia's Mike Bushong said.

CTO of enterprise Linux lays out roadmap at SUSEcon, spans operating systems, Kubernetes and more.

Kubenet can act as an abstracted level on top of a router or switch where orchestration of those devices can be managed in a vendor-agnostic way.

A decade ago Docker on track to conquer the cloud world, but didn't that happen. Why is Kubernetes the de facto cloud native standard today?

In a move to address the complexity of cloud networking, the Linux Foundation launched Paraglider to simplify managing networks across multiple cloud providers.

The Kubernetes 1.30 update packs major improvements across core areas like networking, storage, scheduling and code architecture.

The open source StarlingX project is out with its 9.0 release, promising improved capabilities for users of the telco and edge-focused cloud computing platform.

Nephio, which uses a telco industry–focused approach to cloud-native network automation, has a new release for radio access network and multicloud frameworks.

Dell's latest round of updates also further the vendor's ongoing push into the telecom space.

The general availability of the Gateway API opens up new gateway to how Kubernetes networking and connectivity will be enabled in the future.

Tetragon is a "runtime security layer for Kubernetes platforms featuring transparency, ... minimal overhead and simple usage," said Isovalent's Thomas Graf.

Although the open-source service mesh project Linkerd started with Kubernetes, that was never the final destination in mind, William Morgan said.

New VP Ankur Jain said the hyperscaler remains comfortable as a facilitator for private networks.

We're still in the early phase of multicloud implementations. Here's how to overcome the obstacles that still stand in the way today.

"We've seen this architecture exceed our expectations on the overall economic picture for value," Verizon's Adam Koeppe said.

The latest integration also tapped into the Linux Foundation-hosted Nephio project.

The vendor will remain committed to OpenStack until “I turn off the last LTE [virtualized network function] that’s running on it," exec Ian Hood said.

"Linkerd and [Open Service Mesh] have always been spiritual siblings," Buoyant CEO William Morgan said after the OSM project's archival.
