ZTE's year included claims of espionage, direct intervention from President Donald Trump, a growing list of countries banning use of its equipment, and a $1 billion hit to its

Industry trade group 5G Americas predicts that there will be 336,000 5G connections in North Americas by the end of 2019. That will account for 47 percent of global

The Kubernetes project made a lot of progress in 2018 in terms of maturity, stability, and scalability, which helped drive M&A activity and a greater focus on security.

The report cited a divergent business path compared with Nokia and hinted at a potential upside for Ericsson due to continued geo-political issues for Huawei and ZTE.

The latest flaw was coincidentally announced on the same day as the latest version of Kubernetes was released. Project members said security concerns do not impact the release cycle.

The company closed 100 deals valued in excess of $1 million and added more than 100 new customers to both its OpenShift and Ansible platforms during the quarter.

The launch is the first for a standards-based 5G network in the U.S. and taps AT&T's deep SDN deployments.

AT&T CTO Andre Fuetsch said the carrier is at 63 percent SDN control of its network operations that can be virtualized, pushing toward its goal of 65 percent control

Developers only need to upload their own code, which is then automatically deployed to the edge in an isolated runtime environment.

The service mesh proxy was initially developed by Lyft and breezed through the CNCF incubation process a year faster than its fellow graduates.

The open source platform acts as a next-generation hypervisor targeted at modern architectures and already powers AWS' Lambda and Fargate services.

This growth in traffic will mean that more than one-third of network capacity will have to bypass the core by 2022.

Within GKE, Istio will collect telemetry about a running container and send that information to either Stackdriver or Prometheus to allow an organization to monitor the health of that

The company says its newly formed Access Networks organization will help it win 5G contracts and battle against rivals Ericsson, Huawei, ZTE, and Samsung.

The SDK abstracts the developer away from having to deal with hardware security.
