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.

Cilium's 1.14 update takes it beyond Kubernetes use cases, introducing new mesh capabilities, high-speed networking and security enhancements.

Connecting networking services in cloud native Kubernetes is all about service mesh and the biggest project is (finally) graduating to maturity.

This week was about cybersecurity -- avoiding vulnerabilities, learning more about them, or CISOs dealing with the consequences.
