“If you asked me five years ago if I would be talking about open source I would have said you were crazy,” said Amy Wheelus, VP of Network Cloud

The third release has a more equitable feature set provided by AT&T, the other founding carrier members, and more recent additions.

For Airship, the most pressing issue is minimizing the impact on network operations during more frequent update cycles.

A robust edge deployment will be necessary for the carrier to deploy immersive services that will differentiate its 5G network from its current 4G LTE deployment.

CEO Hock Tan said the company will sell hardware to new customers and will see a boost from 5G.

Consul competes against Istio but has a broader focus on multi-tenancy infrastructure deployments.

The serverless security library targets the runtime environment but is not a replacement for an enterprise-grade platform deployment.

The Project Volutus joint venture with Crown Castle will now be fully under control of Vapor IO, which will now handle the deployment and service management through its Kinetic

The company's open source partner program will divert revenue to organizations or individuals that allow blockchain-based encrypted storage on personal devices.

Serverless Inc. CEO Austen Collins said that the open source community has accounted for 90 percent of contributions to the Serverless Framework.

It's common for hardware to have bugs. It's up to the kernel to provide mitigation.

CTO Thomas Di Giacomo said the company plans to invest more into its operations including a focus on acquisitions.

Internal Google policies had prevented the ability to add non-Google employees to deal with some of the management.

The software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform recreates common Docker container failures across three categories: resource, network, and state.

The project is housed in the Linux Foundation and is a standardized way for managing the flow of metadata between different big data technologies and vendor platforms.

The funds come at a critical time as analysts have noted Europe is lagging behind North America and Asia on 5G deployments.

These issues can delay deployments, result in inferior service quality, and make it difficult to reach return on investment goals, according to John Isch at Orange Business Services.

The vendor would have been No. 3 behind Huawei and Ciena in worldwide optical networking hardware sales. Instead, Nokia snared that spot.

The container orchestration platform lets users tap into existing workflows and use the same tools for an application management layer overseeing compute and storage.

The firm says Kubernetes is still a "three-star wizard to figure out," but abstraction could help ease deployment pains.

The firm sees constant and long-term updates as key to maintaining edge and IoT security.

The Linux Foundation-hosted project is opening up its seed code that initially was contributed by AT&T.

The custom kernel provides up to 25 percent faster network throughput and a 23 percent drop in average latency for on-demand instances.

The vendor has sidled up next to Nokia and Ericsson as a dominant 5G equipment supplier to the largest carriers in the U.S.
