Server: Kubernetes, Hummingbird at Rackspace, Containers

Kubernetes Development Infrastructure Moving Out of Google Control
Google helped to create the Linux Foundation's Cloud Native Computing Foundation in July 2015 with the contribution of the Kubernetes container orchestration system. Although Google contributed Kubernetes, it was still running the core infrastructure for building, developing and testing Kubernetes—until now.
On Aug. 29 at the Linux Foundation's Open Source Summit here, the CNCF and Google announced that Kubernetes development will be moving to the CNCF's control in an effort to further enable multicloud development. Alongside the move, Google announced that it is donating $9 million in Google Cloud Platform credits to enable the CNCF to run Kubernetes developments for the next three years.

The shutdown of the project Hummingbird at Rackspace
On reflection, I suspect their chances would be better if they were serious about interoperating with Swift. The performance gains that they demonstrated were quite impressive. But their paymasters at RAX weren't into this community development and open-source toys (not that RAX went through the change of ownership while Hummingbird was going on).

The container future is here. It’s just not evenly distributed
Science fiction writer William Gibson once said, “The future is already here -- it’s just not evenly distributed.” He was explaining that things we once thought of as futuristic already were a reality for some people, but not everyone.
He may as well have been talking about adoption of Linux containers within the federal government.
While evidence suggests that the public sector’s interest in Linux containers continues to grow, many agencies remain on the fence. Whether due to budget, lack of information or other constraints, government adoption of Linux containers has been slower than it has been in the commercial space. Many agencies continue to view containers as exclusively for the cool kids in Silicon Valley.

Samsung, Red Hat to Work on Linux Drivers for Future TechThe metaverse is expected to uproot system design as we know it, and Samsung is one of many hardware vendors re-imagining data center infrastructure in preparation for a parallel 3D world. Samsung is working on new memory technologies that provide faster bandwidth inside hardware for data to travel between CPUs, storage and other computing resources. The company also announced it was partnering with Red Hat to ensure these technologies have Linux compatibility. |
