The Cloud Satellite service allows users to run their IBM Cloud service in on-premises or edge locations managed through a single pane of glass in the public cloud.

The deal combines with NetApp's recent Talon acquisition to provide an integrated "modern workplace-type environment," said NetApp's Vikram Bhatia.

The expansion will allow users to manage OpenShift clusters running on Azure or on infrastructure-as-a-service, VMs, or on-premises bare metal.

Axios reports that D2iQ would be valued north of $250 million, but less than its $775 million valuation following its Series D round.

The updates focus on providing a simplified control panel for applications running in different virtualized environments.

Project Astra offers a normalized application data management approach that results in the portability of data rich or stateful applications.

Anthos customers can now run Google-managed workloads inside of AWS. Azure support remains a work in progress.

The vendor's 2.0 update includes testing and infrastructure provisioning capabilities that its CEO Joe Duffy said users are calling "superpowers."

Cisco paved Rakuten's virtual roaming road; VMware bolstered its hybrid cloud with Kubernetes products; and ARM joined the O-RAN alliance.

The updates include application and infrastructure additions designed to ease operations in a Kubernetes environment and further integrate VMware’s Kubernetes properties.

Some of the new features include better public cloud cost comparisons via integration with VMware’s CloudHealth and improved VMware Cloud on AWS migration.

The move targets the challenge of container storage by extending persistent data storage to containers running in the AWS ecosystem.

"Closed limited resources and ideas can never compete with something that is open to the world – and the world contributing," said Google's Kelsey Hightower.

KEDA was designed to allow developers to run serverless functions within a Kubernetes environment across other clouds and on-premises locations.

The DevOps monitoring platform extended support to several IBM Cloud services including IBM Watson and Cloud Foundry.

More than 225,000 branch offices have deployed VMware’s SD-WAN, said VMware’s Tom Gillis. “All of a sudden we’re No. 1.”

The carrier is “sizing our operations to economic activity”; VMware is helping Vodafone cut costs; and Snyk sees the pandemic propelling DecSecOps.

Chip Childers called the transition “a great moment in time” as Cloud Foundry continues to tighten its embrace of the Kubernetes ecosystem.

That challenge will rely heavily on IBM’s Red Hat business unit, which also received a new leader.

“As the 5G edge unfolds, we’ll start to see more of a marriage between the telcos and hyperscale clouds,” said Nick McQuire, SVP at CCS Insight.

AT&T saw a 700% SD-WAN surge; VMware, FBI warned of cybercriminals targeting teleworkers; and SDxCentral's weekly wrap podcast.

The work is based on the carrier's Conducktor internal Kubernetes platform.

The vendor's Managed Apps platform can oversee 10 cloud-native systems, including database and logging, monitoring, and alerting applications.

The application performance monitoring service launches less than a year after the company acquired SignalFx and Omnition.
