The competitive landscape for managed, on-premises Kubernetes services is becoming increasingly crowded with the likes of Cisco and even Google itself jumping in.

The PX-Enterprise 1.6 updates take into account the distributed storage nature of modern applications running across different clouds and container environments.

The software repository used the news to take a swipe at rival GitHub, which Microsoft purchased for $7.5 billion.

Dell EMC brings hardware production in-house, dumps Celestica; Microsoft buys AI firm Lob; and Deutsche Telekom makes updates to Bavaria mobile network.

The product uses a Kubernetes orchestration framework. It supports on-premises storage devices and cloud storage from Amazon, Microsoft, Google, Digital Ocean, Wasabi, and Scality’s software-defined storage platform Ring.

The service mesh's 2.0 update is focused on easing deployment for service owners compared to other platforms like Istio.

“Because the developers love Stackpoint.io so much, after our testing I bought the company. It’s just that good,” said NetApp's Anthony Lye.

Distributed computing with Red Hat OpenStack Platform allows the Contrail Edge Cloud to remotely manage the lifecycle of compute nodes and virtual machines (VMs) from a centralized data center

Microsoft introduces Azure DevOps; OpenDaylight releases Fluorine ; and Sprint and Nokia collaborate on 5G.

The vendor is taking advantage of OpenStack and virtualization platforms like containers and the container environment.

Consul competes against Istio but has a broader focus on multi-tenancy infrastructure deployments.

The company has also built its own servers and plans to open source them. It's midway through its re-platforming project with the goal of making its infrastructure more homogenous.

SDxCentral spoke with Nutanix CEO Dheeraj Pandey immediately after the company’s fourth quarter fiscal 2018 earnings call. Nutanix posted revenue of $303.7 million, up from $252.5 million a year

Vodafone Idea becomes the largest mobile operator in India; CenturyLink and VMware launch an IT partner program; AWS released its relational database service on VMware.

CTO Thomas Di Giacomo said the company plans to invest more into its operations including a focus on acquisitions.

Internal Google policies had prevented the ability to add non-Google employees to deal with some of the management.

The software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform recreates common Docker container failures across three categories: resource, network, and state.

In addition to scooping up a cloud-monitoring startup and developing an edge strategy VMware CEO Pat Gelsinger took some time to get a new tattoo before VMworld.

The open source private cloud platform allows users to change their infrastructure to best suit individual workloads.

The container orchestration platform lets users tap into existing workflows and use the same tools for an application management layer overseeing compute and storage.

The firm says Kubernetes is still a "three-star wizard to figure out," but abstraction could help ease deployment pains.

The firm sees constant and long-term updates as key to maintaining edge and IoT security.

Some view the platform as the death knell for serverless platforms not based on Kubernetes, while others tout patience.

Oracle debuts another autonomous database cloud service; Facebook open sources its transport layer security library; and AWS rolls out serverless option for Amazon Aurora.
