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.

Serverless computing is "one more piece of the puzzle, not a replacement for everything that's come before it,” DigitalOcean's Jake Levirne said.

Oracle released a multi-cloud container management platform; Intel rolled out infrastructure processing units; and AT&T is rumored to be the latest telecom victim of cybercrime.

The 3.0 product integrates data from Kubernetes environments, cloud hosts, traffic logs, audit logs, Prisma Cloud, and third-parties with non-cloud endpoint and network data sources.

Oracle Verrazzano enables its users to deploy, manage, and secure container applications on any Kubernetes cluster where Oracle’s container platform is installed.

“I think there is a tendency among many infrastructure projects, including Istio, to want to do more, and to want to solve broader classes of problems. And I think

“The community's focus in making these changes is to improve the transparency," Cloud Foundry Foundation's Chip Childers said.

The trial, which was conducted in Texas, Massachusetts, and Connecticut, “reached speeds commensurate with more traditional baseband-radio configurations,” Verizon's Mike Kondratiuk said.
