New perspectives on diversity, growth, security and hybrid storage shaped KubeCon 2020
Summary
At the most recent virtual gathering of the open-source community last week — KubeCon + CloudNativeCon NA 2020 — the CNCF announced 46 new participating companies, passing the 600-member mark for the first time. This has included the launch of the Inclusive Naming Initiative by CNCF and a number of other organizations, with the goal of eliminating terminology such as “master-slave architectural control,” which runs counter to the group’s collaborative spirit. “Open source is validated; it’s a viable model to build around software,” Joep Piscaer, independent content creator and analyst at TLA Tech, said during a post-event discussion on theCUBE. “We are launching a number of solutions for various workloads and applications built with a strong container element,” Eric Herzog, chief marketing officer and vice president of global storage channels at IBM, said during a recent interview with theCUBE. “Kubernetes is being used to tackle some of the biggest central board-level problems that enterprises face,” Michael Ferranti, vice president of product and corporate marketing at Portworx, said during a recent interview with theCUBE.
