Nokia stated the sale of its Device Management and Service Management Platform units furthers its move toward “active portfolio management.”

The open source project also took a specific focus in the Kubernetes 1.29 release cycle to help ensure stability and production readiness.

It's combining efforts with the Cloud Native Computing Foundation and other Linux Foundation Networking projects.

The hyperscaler announced two new custom data center chips designed to optimize data center hardware and software stacks for high-performance AI workloads.

Leveling up its open-source container management platform, SUSE improves security, clusters and apps with new releases of Rancher and Rancher Prime.

"Gone are the days of driving a truck out," Red Hat's Richard Henshall said, as companies have scaled their far-edge devices into the hundreds or thousands.

The enterprise service mesh also represents an alternative to less-secure options like Istio, according to Linkerd creator William Morgan.

Most development products follow an all-or-nothing strategy. "Either the product is 100% local or it's 100% cloud," Docker CEO Scott Johnston said.

The vendor reconstructed OpenStack's control plane and deployment model to bring the platform "to a cloud-native state," Red Hat's Sean Cohen said.

The container networking startup is aiming to solve a critical security issue that can significantly impact zero trust for cloud-native deployments.
