The new container security technology allows customers to apply consistent security policies across all cloud IaaS workloads, McAfee says.

“Keeping with the Broadcom cadence, approximately every two years we’ve been doubling the bandwidth of the Tomahawk product line," Broadcom's Peter Del Vecchio said.

Google buys CloudSimple, challenges VMware Cloud on AWS; Palo Alto Networks announced plans to acquire Aporeto; plus the latest VC/M&A news from November.

The decades-old framework of virtualization is unfit for modern cloud infrastructure and, as such, Amazon is working to achieve near bare metal performance.

Enterprises have to foster senior-level alignment, an aggressive top-down goal to move fast, put a training program into action, and resist the tendency to get bogged down.

“When you actually look at the details, we’re growing at a meaningfully larger absolute dollar rate than anybody else,” AWS CEO Andy Jassy said.

The legacy network and endpoint security vendor acquired key pieces of cloud-native technology used in its Cloud Optix security platform when it bought Avid Secure.

“We think of the whole AWS Outposts initiative as very complementary to everything we’re doing,” said CenturyLink’s Dave Shacochis.

McAfee also teased a yet-to-be-released microsegmentation technology to secure contianer runtimes called NanoSegmentation.

“If you do a truly objective and detailed apples-to-apples comparison of the platforms, you don’t end up in the spot where that decision was made,” said AWS CEO Andy

“We’ve been engaged in quiet or stealth mode with AWS the past 18 months,” Verizon's Bill Stone said.

Both firms managed to score coveted “leaders” billings in recent Gartner Magic Quadrant reports.

Three of the vendors added AWS Transit Gateway network manager support, with the other tapping into Amazon's VPC Ingress Routing.

Hyperscale operator capex topped $31 billion in Q3, representing a return to growth as spending is now ahead of the record-setting levels seen in 2018.

“AWS is dead serious with this new chip, and I don’t say this lightly,” said Moor Insights & Strategy's Patrick Moorehead.

The integration will permit Fortinet-managed rulesets for AWS Web Application Firewall (AWS WAF).

It’s a fully managed and configurable compute and storage racks built with AWS-designed hardware that can run compute and storage on premises.

It uses AWS’ new edge computing service called Wavelength to allow developers to deploy ultra-low latency applications to mobile devices using 5G networks.

The vendor says its hybrid-cloud approach differs from its competitors because it doesn’t create a “walled garden.”

Now that T-Mobile US has laid a widespread 5G footprint, much of its future plans hang on the outcome of its proposed merger with Sprint.

SD-WAN has reached an inflection point as enterprises — driven by cost savings, equipment replacements, and increased reliance on the cloud — have adopted the technology.

“It has been a bit of a challenge to get that community excited about telecom and to get excited about working with us to advance networking," said LFN's Heather

“It’s a very large market, and large markets are red oceans. Red oceans have whales and red oceans are bloody,” CEO Dheeraj Pandey said.

The acquisition will enable customers to secure their applications at scale. Meanwhile, weak Q2 guidance sent the company's stock tumbling.
