Palo Alto Networks and Aqua Security researchers say cryptojackers are inserting malicious images into containers to mine for Monero.

The feature allows for central management of data protection of Kubernetes clusters running across multiple environments.

VMware made a SASE jump; Cisco expanded its open RAN trial with Telenor; and Nokia glided into network slicing.

GCP also announced it had pushed 15,000 nodes per cluster in its Kubernetes Engine platform.

Chip Childers, who recently took over as director of the Cloud Foundry Foundation from Abby Kearns, has overseen several Kubernetes-focused updates.

HPE challenged VMware, IBM Red Hat with Ezmeral; Nokia readied an aggressive Open RAN portfolio; and Arm elbowed Intel, AMD for new ground.

The gamble could also help the Finnish vendor regain momentum following early challenges with its 5G portfolio.

“Tanzu and OpenShift are the two swim lanes, and Ezmeral will be a third swim lane with very unique opportunities,” HPE CTO Kumar Sreekanti said.

The new VxRail systems launch as Dell Technologies once again wins the No. 1 hyperconverged infrastructure vendor title, according to IDC.

The operator’s network guru clarified that AT&T will have a nationwide 5G network running on low-band spectrum later this summer.

The new firewall embeds machine learning in the core of the firewall to stop threats, secure IoT devices, and recommend security policies essentially in real-time.

“The elephant in the room with regards to open RAN is, of course, integration,” said Patrick Filkins, senior research analyst at IDC.

While Azure Security Center has detected “multiple” attacks against Kubernetes clusters in the past, this is the first time it has seen any specifically targeting Kubeflow.

Open RAN and the rise of 5G presents an opportunity for Juniper to play in a market it hasn’t played in before, Juniper Networks CTO Raj Yavatkar said.

Coronavirus claimed 200 GSMA jobs; IBM Cloud suffered a massive outage; and Versa helped service providers get SASE.

Longhorn complements Kubernetes and provides a storage overlay that virtualizes and enhances underlying storage infrastructure, said Rancher Labs CEO.

The updates include deeper integration with HPE's InfoSight predictive-analytics platform.

The updates follow a move by Chef last year to revamp its development, platforms, and go-to-market strategy to more fully embrace the open source community.

Spot's platform will be merged with NetApp’s ADI focus to allow customers to more easily deploy their applications into public cloud environments.

Rakuten Mobile isn’t going far, less than 10 miles in fact, for the procurement of its 5G core.

The partnership is intended to allow service providers to more quickly and cost effectively develop and deploy flexiWAN-based SD-WAN offerings.

The release includes CNTT’s first whack at its container-based reference architecture that defines a Kubernetes-based architectures for use as part of the CNTT project.

The company is targeting Amazon first with its Anthos platform because it has a similar operational model compared with Microsoft.

“The growth of the open networking ecosystem will be essential to meeting enterprise coverage and services needs in the 5G era," GSMA CTO Alex Sinclair said.
