Later this week the vendor will launch a new product for cloud workloads that supports containers and Kubernetes.

The Linux Foundation's Heather Kirksey likened OPNFV's current status to the Gartner Hype Cycle and looking to come out of the “through of disillusionment.”

The carrier worked with Vodafone, Verizon, and Orange on making the CNTT process work across each operator’s vendor ecosystem.

The update allows Windows Server containers to run alongside Linux containers in the same cluster within Google Kubernetes Engine.

VMware slashed jobs; Microsoft soared to new heights on the cloud; and the EU punts on Huawei.

Employer demand for IT professionals with Kubernetes experience is growing faster than candidate interest, according to new data from Indeed.

Cisco joined the on-premises Kubernetes party; the U.K. banned Huawei from 5G core networks; and Apstra added time travel to IBN.

The new HyperFlex Application Platform is an integrated, managed Kubernetes service deployed on Cisco’s hyperconverged infrastructure.

“We feel like the technology is ready but there’s more features to make it more broadly attractive, and that's what we're doing with the money,” said co-founder Mark Hinkle.

Cisco advanced intent-based networking; SK boasted standalone 5G first; and Citrix swatted ADC, Gateway bugs.

If Kubernetes is the helmsman that steers containers, Loodse is the the captain's captain steering Kubernetes clusters, explained the company's Bill Mulligan.

The project was born from seed code donated by AT&T in 2018, and is targeted at developing carrier-grade computing applications running in VMs and containers.

Verizon to lead new 5G group; Microsoft, NSA warn of "critical" vulnerability; and Red Hat updated OpenShift to target multi-cloud, security.

The updates tap into Red Hat's NooBaa acquisition in 2018.

Nokia cut 180 jobs, with more to come; Equinix pushed to the edge with Packet acquisition; and Google powered up on IBM Power Systems.

With more people looking for vulnerabilities, the safer and more secure Kubernetes will be, explained Google execs.

The Falco project joins 14 other Incubating projects as the first and, so far, only security runtime platform within CNCF.

Ray O’Farrell will lead the new unit as EVP and GM. O’Farrell previously served as EVP and executive sponsor of VMware’s Cloud Native Applications business.

The past year was highlighted by ongoing security and commercialization challenges around business models, the edge, and 5G.

Instana CEO Mirko Novakovic said the acquisitions advance the company's vision to "accelerate overall product vision to take APM further, faster."

“Maybe the national anthem is still playing in this game of containers and it’s very early,” COO Sanjay Poonen said of the market.
