VMware said it will buy Pivotal in a deal valued at $2.7 billion and security company Carbon Black in a deal valued at $2.1 billion.

The OpenShift Service Mesh handles service-to-service communication of Kubernetes-orchestrated applications running on Red Hat’s OpenShift 4 platform.

VMware bought Intrinsic, an application security startup, in its fifth acquisition in three months, adding serverless security to its lineup.

Kasten's flagship cloud-native data management product K10 enables enterprises to run stateful applications on Kubernetes.

Mesosphere's recent name change and operational focus follows similar moves by Docker Inc., Pivotal Software, and IBM.

An internal security audit found 37 security vulnerability issues, including five "high-severity issues," though fixes for those problems have already been deployed.

It was a key part of adding native integration of Microsoft’s Azure Kubernetes Service as a managed Kubernetes option within its Cisco Container Platform.

The latest bugs impact various Kubernetes versions between 1.7 and 1.15. One is linked to several bugs that have plagued the space over the past eight months.

The name change to D2iQ, which is not to be confused with container-as-a-service platform provider DH2i, is part of the “next phase of our growing strategy,” said company CEO

The Cloud Paks allow IBM software to run across major public cloud providers like Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform, and on private cloud deployments.

A survey found that two-thirds of organizations are running more than 10% of their applications in a containerized environment, but 40% of those organizations think their current security stance

The latest update also includes a configuration management tool that builds on Red Hat’s Ansible product to help stand up and manage the state of a machine without having

The expansion includes alpha versions of two of its managed platforms and plans to move a third to that status later this year.

The new projects are Codewind, Appsody, and Kabanero. Appsody uses components from Codewind, while Kabanero uses components from both Codewind and Appsody.

Juniper Adds Multi-Cloud Kubernetes Support to Juke

IBM ranks among the top three contributors in terms of code commits to open source projects, says CTO Chris Ferris. “We don’t run around with the vanity metrics the

The updates support automated container security deployments that NeuVector CTO Gary Duan described as a “policy-as-a-code concept.”

Co-founder Farah Papaioannou said that Edgeworx was the only vendor to offer “edge-aware Kubernetes,” which is “the only right way to take Kubernetes to the edge.”

Joel Smith, who works with the Kubernetes Product Security Committee, described the latest bug as “high severity."

“Kubernetes is front and center of the partnership as all of these changes are predicated by the massive developer adoption of Kubernetes,” said Cisco's Kaustubh Das.

The vendor also announced it’s moving into consumption-based pricing to further make on-premises infrastructure more cloud like.

The edge platform has more than 40 early-access customers including BMW, Foxconn, GE Healthcare, Seagate Technology, and Harvard Medical School.

The latest flaw allows a witty attacker to target API endpoints behind the docker cp command that would allow them to read and write data on a host machine.

The platform’s pull-based, declarative deployment mechanism allows it to scale to tens of thousands of clusters and hundreds of thousands of deployments.
