The new specifications broaden support for different access technologies and NFV integration.

Hewlett Packard Enterprise is one of the new investors, having initially signed up for the Portworx Enterprise platform last year.

“When you deal with Kubernetes in the core of a network, dealing with quarterly updates is one thing,” said Red Hat's Brian Gracely. “But when you have 2,000 branch

“Much of Linkerd’s recent momentum is from folks coming to Linkerd after struggling with Istio,” explained Buoyant CEO William Morgan.

The platform provides a more consistent way for enterprises to manage their applications across multiple infrastructure locations.

The open source project creates the necessary tunnels and routes between Kubernetes clusters that allow for direct connections regardless of their location.

The carrier has been finding that some software components are not quite able to meet the “five nines” needs of telecom operators, which has required a bit of extra

The white paper is a “pretty high level” education piece on where the 5G ecosystem is in terms of using open source platforms.

Its purpose is to show the ability to run the same networking code running as VNFs on OpenStack and as CNF’s on Kubernetes.

“While the tone around 5G is exuberant, quietly everyone we are talking with ... are questioning who is ultimately going to pay for 5G deployments," said PwC's Dan Hays.

The NEC platform is focused on providing a low latency experience for enterprises without the need for dedicated on-premises hardware.

The carrier touted the first four markets to see its 5G beams, but it could be under new ownership by mid-year.

Suri also stated that in terms of costs, Nokia was “confident” in its ability to compete, and that includes on important features like security.

The move highlights robust plans for the carrier, though it could still lag behind rivals that are promising nationwide coverage in 2020.

But, the local operators will be the ones feeling the most pressure to match the world in 5G deployments.

The CSP platform relies on Google's Kubernetes-based GKE On-Prem and Istio to support management across hybrid environments.

The executive missives come as some European operators have expressed concern that their 5G plans could be delayed if Huawei is not part of the infrastructure puzzle.

The support will allow organizations to deploy Knative in a Kubernetes cluster using a one-click install via the IBM Cloud Kubernetes Service user interface.

The 5G PCF platform acts as the policy management function of the 5G control plane. It’s also one of the 5G core network elements providing quality of service and

Watson applications can now be run as microservices orchestrated by Kubernetes across rival cloud ecosystems like like AWS, Azure, and GCP.

The carrier said that its initial 5G service is currently providing select customers with network speeds up to 400 Mb/s. It has also seen speeds as high as 1.5

The flaw basically allows an infected container to gain control of the overarching host container and allow an attacker to execute any command.

Company CTO Neville Ray explained that the carrier was using just 10 megahertz of its 600 MHz and 700 MHz spectrum resources to support its 4G LTE network.

Mirantis scored an eight-figure, multi-year deal to provide the carrier with core infrastructure software that has Kubernetes running on bare metal on-premises.
