Since the time the public cloud has become prominent, there have been multiple attempts to bring parity between on-premises infrastructure and cloud infrastructure.
Open Source projects like OpenStack, CloudStack and Eucalyptus aimed to become the hybrid cloud platforms for seamlessly integrating enterprise data centers with the public cloud.

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.

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.
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.

Helm 3 is the latest major release of the CLI tool. Helm 3 builds upon the success of Helm 2, continuing to meet the needs of the evolving ecosystem.
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.

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.

The Cloud Native Computing Foundation released their first Project Journey Report for Kubernetes. This is the first of several such reports they’ll be issuing for CNCF graduated projects. Here’s the backstory.
The largest CNCF-hosted project is Kubernetes. It is the most widely used container orchestration platform today, often described as the “Linux of the cloud”. CNCF’s efforts to nurture the growth of Kubernetes span a wide range of activities from organizing and running the enormously successful Kubecon + CloudNativeCon events to creating educational MOOCs and end user communities to certifying that different versions of Kubernetes are conformant. We even underwrite security audits. All of this is funded by CNCF’s membership dues and revenues from sponsorship and registration at our conferences.

Last year, the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) began the process of performing and open sourcing third-party security audits for its projects in order to improve the overall security of our ecosystem. The idea was to start with a handful of projects and gather feedback from the CNCF community as to whether or not this pilot program was useful. The first projects to undergo this process were CoreDNS, Envoy and Prometheus. These first public audits identified security issues from general weaknesses to critical vulnerabilities. With these results, project maintainers for CoreDNS, Envoy and Prometheus have been able to address the identified vulnerabilities and add documentation to help users.
