ZDNet: Why OpenStack and Kata Containers are both seeing a resurgence of adoptionLEARN MORE

OpenInfra Universe

Open infrastructure goes beyond the projects that are directly hosted at the OpenInfra Foundation. The OpenInfra Universe provides a look at the open source solutions available for infrastructure projects: open source projects that help provide infrastructure resources for others to build on, in use cases such as edge computing, container infrastructure, public/private hybrid cloud, AI & machine learning, CI/CD, and more. Most of these projects power or rely on the Open Infrastructure Blueprint (Linux, OpenStack, and Kubernetes), an end-to-end open source solution for providing infrastructure. Projects in the OpenInfra Universe are discussed at OpenInfra events around the world.
