Cnvrg extended support for Intel’s Habana Gaudi AI accelerators; Rubrik partnered with Microsoft; and Deutsche Telekom rolled out 5G on Kubernetes.

The German network operator claims it's the first global telco to roll out Kubernetes across both its network core and edge sites.

If approved as an incubating project, the Kubernetes-based serverless project could find itself on a path to wider industry adoption.

“We are in an age of explosive growth with respect to applications,” VMware CEO Raghu Raghuram said on the company’s third-quarter fiscal 2022 earnings call.

Solo.io raised $135 million to reach unicorn status; Cisco acquired replex to bolster its observability platform; and Rakuten Mobile acquired Estmob.

“Security is a very vibrant and innovative space, and there are a lot of ways to solve the problem,” SUSE's Sheng Liang said.

The Kubernetes-based project aims to unchain current serverless development platforms that are tied to their respective cloud parents.

Verizon plans to offer Fortinet’s SD-WAN platform; AMD reported $4.3B in Q3 revenue; and the Linkerd 2.11 update extends zero-trust security to Kubernetes environments.

This is a "milestone" for the platform as "now you can use Linkerd to control which types of communication are available or are possible on your cluster,” CEO William

Intel announced its CFO will retire; NetApp expanded its Spot portfolio; and Cisco acquired Kubernetes governance startup replex.

The startup’s technology helps cloud-native enterprise customers better predict costs and provides transparency across Kubernetes environments.

Google activated its cybersecurity A-team and touted its cloud progress; and Red Hat upped its Kubernetes edge game.

The move lets developers standardize on Kubernetes while running workloads that aren’t easily containerized in virtual machines.

The Advanced Cluster Management update provides a consistent view of Kubernetes clusters at the edge, in data centers, or in cloud environments.

“This portfolio allows customers to focus on applications and business initiatives, rather than the management of their underlying infrastructure,” Google Cloud's Sachin Gupta said.

“Tanzu is the future of VMware,” Ajay Patel said during VMworld 2021, where the vendor announced expansions to its Tanzu portfolio.

VMware and Nvidia partnered to deploy AI workloads on Kubernetes; VMware boosted cloud-native security; and Dell extended its cloud partnership with VMware.

VMware boosted its cloud-native security capabilities at VMworld with a new API security product and posture management services across Kubernetes clusters.

Nvidia and Lenovo also announced a collaboration promoting VMware's Project Monterey.

The vendor’s “default” is to look to the open-source community for solutions.

Mavenir CTO Bejoy Pankajakshan described Dish’s strategy as a “hybrid deployment on Amazon Web Services where the central unit goes on AWS and the distributed unit part stays with

Secureworks focuses on XDR; Google Cloud introduced Google Kubernetes Engine; and Barracuda Networks launched a SASE platform.

“When people are modernizing their applications, they are coming to GKE,” said Guru Pangal, GM of Storage at Google Cloud.

But Raghu Raghuram hedged when asked if and when Tanzu will overtake the hypervisor in terms of revenue for VMware.
