Open Source Community Connects Global 5G Cloud Native Network

 

  • Collaborative effort between LF Networking and global networking ecosystem shows open source approach to building cloud native 5G on top of Kubernetes
  • First Proof-of-Concept of live, end-to-end, open source 5G network displayed on keynote stage at KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America 

 

SAN DIEGO, Calif.  KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America – November 20, 2019 – LF Networking (LFN), which facilitates collaboration and operational excellence across open networking projects, today demonstrated an end-to-end, global, 5G, cloud native network live on-stage at KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America. As a thought leader in generating technology from multiple sources based on telecom 5G requirements, LFN’s OPNFV community shepherded the cutting-edge Proof-of-Concept (PoC), which illustrates how to build, connect, and manage a global 5G network – including on-prem, cloud, and edge operations – on open architecture running network services using Kubernetes.

Europe looking at new cloud security

Taking its name from the Greek Goddess for Earth, the Gaia X project will be a pan-European cloud and data network.Pixabay.com

A new European cloud computing project has been unveiled in Germany.

Taking its name from the Greek Goddess for Earth, the Gaia X project will be a pan-European cloud and data network which aims to provide security for Europeans after President Trump introduced the CLOUD (Clarifying Lawful Overseas Use of Data) act in 2018, giving US authorities access to data on American-owned company servers anywhere in the world.

Predictions 2020: Cloud computing sees new alliances and new security concerns

Last year, Forrester predicted that enterprises would start modernizing core business apps with cloud computing in 2019, and that transformation has indeed taken off. 2019 also brought major acquisitions (IBM completed its acquisition of Red Hat, and VMware reabsorbed Pivotal) and surprising new alliances (Oracle partnered with Microsoft on high-speed links between Oracle Cloud and Azure, and VMware brought its Cloud Foundation to Google Cloud).

The always-changing cloud provider landscape changed again — bringing frenemies closer together and expanding the reach of incumbents. Think you know who’s winning the cloud computing wars? Think again, because the battleground has shifted.

2020 trends in cloud computing: The epicenter of cloud native architecture

The service oriented economy of cloud computing has all but solidified throughout the data ecosystem. It’s single-handedly responsible for the modern way vendors interact with organizations, organizations interact with their customers and organizations interact with one another.

Whether accessed via hosted solutions, multi-tenant SaaS models, or hybrid on-premise, public, or private clouds, this architecture is the most cost effective and efficient means of scaling—horizontally and vertically—to meet the modern demands of the heterogeneous computing environments with which organizations contend.

OpenStack Foundation’s StarlingX 2.0 Expands Cloud Computing to the Edge

Thanks to a major update to StarlingX, cloud computing resources are no longer just about being at the core.

The OpenStack Foundation’s StarlingX has reached another major milestone, with the 2.0 release of the edge computing platform project.

Based on code contribution from Wind River Systems, StarlingX debuted in late 2018 to enable the development and deployment of edge computing cloud software infrastructure. The basic premise behind edge computing is that compute power is deployed at the edges of the network, be that a 5G cellular base station, remote location or small branch. With the StarlingX 2.0 update, a key new addition is the integration of the Kubernetes container orchestration engine, making it easier for users to use containers in edge deployments.
