Wind River Studio, which provides operators with a platform to develop, deploy, operate, and manage 5G distributed edge clouds, is now commercially available.

Broadcom unveiled an industry first; Palo Alto Networks pumped up Prisma; and AWS forked Elasticsearch.

The vendor's free community edition platform aims to lift the complexity surrounding Kubernetes configurations.

The new features build on the web application security updates the vendor launched with its Prisma Cloud 2.0 release last October.

“We expect this activity to accelerate in 2021 as telcos search for cost savings," MTN Consulting's Matt Walker said.

It’s now on President Joe Biden to manage China sanctions; European operators vow open RAN support; and U.S. 5G coverage hits a milestone.

Thanks to Kubernetes, most people are going to be able to think of GPU acceleration as a fast or efficient button, said Nvidia's Chris Lamb.

Nokia nabbed Google Cloud for cloud-native 5G; Cisco will pay Acacia $4.5B in on-again acquisition; and Tech leaders confronted diversity, inclusion at CES.

Nokia's shift to cloud infrastructure has been swift following the August appointment of its new CEO Pekka Lundmark.

More than half of containers are running as root, which Sysdig's Loris Degioanni identified as “the most alarming finding” from the report.
