CloudSecure continues Illumio’s zero-trust philosophy: “It’s just applying different techniques,” CTO and co-founder PJ Kirner said.

Ransomware requires a layered security approach; Nokia will supply U.S. Cellular with 5G; and Palo Alto Networks rolled out Okyo Garde.

Serverless computing is "one more piece of the puzzle, not a replacement for everything that's come before it,” DigitalOcean's Jake Levirne said.

That lead could be important as Gartner predicts that cloud-delivered EPP will account for 95% of deployments by the end of 2023.

“Although Prisma Cloud is probably best known for container security, we realize that customers are using a diverse set of form factors for running their cloud-native applications,” Palo Alto

The late-stage funding follows banner years for both companies, which reported skyrocketing revenue and bigger customers deals, signaling the growing importance of cloud-native security.

The basics of GKE Autopilot is that it handles all of the management of cluster infrastructure, the control plane, and nodes that are typical of day-two operations.

Palo Alto Networks said it will fold the startup’s technology, which codifies infrastructure configuration during development, into its Prisma Cloud security platform.

The deal will see Red Hat fold StackRox's security software to its OpenShift Kubernetes platform.

The founding team built the cloud security stack for Azure and also sold an earlier startup, cloud access security broker Adallom, to Microsoft for $320 million.

AWS CEO Andy Jassy noted that around two-thirds of all containers running in the cloud are running on AWS.

“Mainly what I see is a lot of marketing around it and less execution,” said Solo.io CEO Idit Levine of the service mesh space.

Aruba bumped Cisco from the Pentagon; AMD bagged Xilinx for $35B; and Juniper paid $450 million to buy 128 Technology.

Verizon faced 5G skeptics; Google's Database Migration Service took flight; and SentinelOne, Menlo Security scored $367 million.

Customers want “set it and forget it” migration services – whether that's serverless or fully managed services like Cloud SQL – said Google's Andi Gutmans.

The decision comes on the heels of Google taking a more controversial approach with the Istio service mesh project.

Cisco’s Liz Centoni said Portshift will help customers enable DevSecOps and build security constructs into cloud-native applications early in the lifecycle.

Forrester Research ranked multi-cloud container development platforms from those three vendors ahead of five other vendors on the list, including VMware, D2iQ, and Mirantis.

The cloud giant also launched its Cloud App Modernization Program that helps map out an organization's upgrade path using Google's cadre of cloud products.

The SlashData and CNCF survey also found that somehow 14% of backend developers had not heard of Kubernetes, compared to just 5% that had not heard of containers.

The integration allows any on-premises or non-Amazon Web Services software-as-a-service event to reach any supported target in EventBridge.

One of the products, Aqua Enterprise, is essentially the company’s flagship cloud-native security product with several updates including VM support.

Ericsson rolled out its standalone 5G software; CNCF shook up leadership; and Liberty Mutual served up a serverless success.

"This is more than someone else's data center. This is a whole new paradigm," noted Liberty Mutual's Dave Anderson on serverless computing.
