VMware withdrew FY21 guidance citing coronavirus concerns; Kubernetes 1.18 ramped up Windows support; and NS1 CISO dished on disaster recovery.

Kubernetes 1.18 features 38 “enhancements” that include a “kubectl debug” command, improved support for Windows, and multiple extensions to the CSI.

Microsoft sunk its teeth deeper in 5G with Affirmed acquisition; Cisco Networking learned lessons during COVID-19; and Huawei boosted its R&D budget.

The adoption is another block in CFF's path-building toward Kubernetes.

The company has posted a 100% year-over-year increase in revenue during the past four years, and has more than doubled its customer base each of those years.

The job cuts include nearly 400 Cisco employees and 151 Hitachi Vantara employees.

The work is targeted at bridging the gap between VNFs that typically run on virtual machines (VMs) and CNFs that run in containerized environments.

The vendor will put the new funding toward accelerating innovation that will drive Kubernetes acceptance to become the compute standard.

Operators responded to expected network impacts from the Coronavirus; Oracle Cloud surged in Q3; and SD-WAN vendors targeted SMBs.

The vendor has a twofold strategy to address multiple orchestration and enterprise challenges in Kubernetes as telecommunication architectures migrate into the cloud-native space.

Jeff Barr, chief evangelist for AWS, noted that it “includes only the packages that are needed” and “integrates with existing container orchestrators.” Think Kubernetes.

Amazon, Apple convened for COVID-19 response at White House; Microsoft defeated Necurs Botnet; and Hitachi Vantara skimmed Containership’s assets.

Containership sank last fall after failing to monetize its Kubernetes distribution.

Cisco dreamed of 5G WAN; VMware's modern application strategy spun Kubernetes Goldilocks tale; and HPE’s 5G core went cloud native.

The vendor has a unique opportunity to help make the code-to-cloud space incredibly efficient, simple, and cost effective, according to Docker Inc.'s Justin Graham.

The vendor added native Kubernetes support to its Cloud Foundation software stack and products to its Kubernetes-focused Tanzu portfolio.

Tom Phelan, a fellow for big data and storage organization at HPE, said the container platform’s bare-metal deployment capability is a “differentiator.”

Google Cloud has created the Global Mobile Edge Cloud, an open cloud platform for it and network operators to jointly develop applications and a distributed edge.

Results from CNCF's annual survey indicate growing ubiquity of the use of cloud native technologies like Kubernetes, service mesh, and serverless.

The company began to lose momentum coming out of its latest fiscal year in which it made 10 acquisitions.

Google showed love for Intel’s security transparency; VMware gained an extra boost with cloud security layer; and Nokia’s cloud aspirations soared

It recruited Kontena's leadership and employees that were behind the Pharos Kubernetes distribution and Lens multi-cluster Kubernetes dashboard.

Cisco went all-in on cloud-native security with SecureX; AT&T joined Open Cybersecurity Alliance; and Intel doubled down on on 5G, edge, data center.

Exposures and data breaches due to misconfigurations have become an “alarmingly common” trend according to StackRox’s latest Kubernetes Security Report.
