The turnkey platform taps into HPE’s acquisition of artificial intelligence and big data software vendor BlueData last year and MapR in August.

K3s is basically a slimmer version of Kubernetes that is targeted at resource-constrained edge locations.

The platform uses an open-source connector to integrate with IBM and other vendors’ security tools as well as data from across a company’s infrastructure.

"That means that all of these programs we were going to spend 100 years of dead weight [on] is now gone out the window," said USAF Chief Software Officer

The initiative taps into Intel’s Software Guard Extension platform to support confidential computing data protection for Kubernetes workloads.

The platform includes the edge node latency performance required to fully virtualize 5G vRAN functions including industrial IoT and mobile-edge computing.

IBM unveiled new open source projects Kui and Iter8 along with advancements to existing Tekton and Razee.

Ericsson, Nokia, and Samsung have much to lose if the RAN space flattens to a point where their equipment becomes a commodity.

The Cloud Information Model houses standards and source code to connect data across cloud platforms and disparate systems.

The company also scored $35 million in new funding as part of a corporate restructuring and announced a new CEO.

Technology prototypes tested and validated by the group are now commercially available and being deployed in multiple networks.

The carrier says it will be commercially deploying the open mobile transport protocol at scale in Germany.

Cloud security posture management includes processes and tools to avoid cloud misconfigurations that can lead to data leakage.

The company cited simplicity and security as being the heart of its K10 platform in order to target a growing push toward Kubernetes-based, cloud-native applications.

It is the second cloud-based storage project accepted by the CNCF in 2018 and the eighth project to graduate.

VMware also added security services and unveiled a beta program for two of its new Kubernetes products.

The open source group says it will produce a RoT silicon reference design and integration guidelines for use in data center servers and other devices.

Blending the needs of DevOps and NetOps positions companies to deliver better business outcomes, VP Douglas Gourlay said.

The preview launch continues the broader industry push to help enterprises deal with “cloud sprawl.”

The eventing project is backed by cloud heavyweights Amazon, Microsoft, and Google.

The next phase of software-defined infrastructure, according to HPE, is AI-powered hyperconverged infrastructure.

The open source code will be donated into the Linux Foundation on Nov. 15, and will be used to build a standardized distributed network operating system.

Databricks secured a $400 million Series F funding round in tandem with a new chief financial officer: former Splunk CFO Dave Conte.
