Network automation, security, and predictive maintenance are the top AI applications, according to LF Networking's global survey on the state of open networking.

Nearly 30 years after its first release, the open source Java programming language is continuing to improve. Today Java 24 becomes generally available, bringing with it substantial improvements across language features, libraries, security, and runtime performance. The latest release contains exactly 24 Java Enhancement Proposals (JEPs), coincidentally matching the version number, along with approximately 3,500 additional fixes and improvements.

Fallout from Broadcom's VMware acquisition is boosting interest in KubeVirt, an open-source project that enables users to deploy and manage VM workloads directly inside of Kubernetes deployments.

The Open Infrastructure Foundation is out with the release of StarlingX 10.0, a significant update to the open-source distributed cloud platform designed for IoT, 5G, O-RAN and edge computing applications.

A challenge for enterprises that operate large-scale network infrastructure has long been how to maintain performance while updating critical systems. The Linux Foundation’s networking division (LF Networking) is helping to address that challenge with the L3AF project, which is based on eBPF (extended Berkeley Packet Filter) technology.

With the new L3AF 2.1.0 update, the technology is gaining a series of improvements including: enhanced observability features, application container improvements, and expanded network interface management functions.

Integrating traffic management, policy enforcement, and role-based access control, Red Hat Connectivity Link is a new technology from IBM’s Red Hat business unit that’s aimed at simplifying how enterprises manage application connectivity across distributed cloud environments. The technology is based on the open-source Kuadrant project, which combines traffic routing, security controls, and policy management capabilities that organizations typically handle through separate tools.

Kubernetes 1.32 boasts 44 enhancements, including new standardization to the platform and improved dynamic resource allocation.

Because it is an open source technology, anyone can use Fast-LLM to help accelerate AI training, including fine tuning operations. The intent is that it can be a drop-in replacement to an existing AI training pipeline with minimal configuration changes. The new open source project aims to differentiate against commonly used AI training frameworks, including the open-source PyTorch, with a series of innovations for data parallelism and memory management.

The Linux Foundation's Census III report reveals critical dependencies and growing security concerns in open source software.

With vector databases becoming more crucial, enterprises are taking an ever closer look at performance and cost. Zilliz, the company behind the open-source Milvus vector database, is announcing new features aimed at dramatically reducing costs and complexity for production deployments, addressing the growing demands of enterprise users who have moved beyond initial experiments to full-scale AI implementations.

KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America 2024 celebrated Kubernetes' 10th anniversary with major announcements, cloud-native certifications, and key updates from CNCF graduated projects.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.5 debuts with new security features, improved web console management, and updated networking capabilities to simplify enterprise IT operations.

SUSE Edge 3.1 includes a new stack validation framework and an image builder tool that are aimed at improving the scalability and manageability of complex Kubernetes and Linux edge-computing deployments.

One of the most notable additions in version 3.13 of Python — the most popular programming language — is the new and improved interactive interpreter.

As with all PostgreSQL releases there is a focus on improved performance. For enterprise users, a key focus of the update is a series of innovations that will make the database easier to use and manage. PostgreSQL has always been a relational database, but with the new release, it now integrates more JSON document database capabilities, that many enterprises commonly associate with the MongoDB Atlas database.

The open-source eBPF (extended Berkeley Packet Filter) technology has become one of the most critical foundational elements of networking with Linux over the last decade. Soon that same power will reach out to embrace Microsoft Windows, too.

After years of development effort and community discussion, the open-source Apache Cassandra 5.0 database is finally generally available. The new database update offers enterprises the promise of improved performance, AI enablement and better data efficiency.

The creator of the popular open-source network protocol analyzer talks about what’s new in Wireshark 4.4, how governance has changed, and what to expect next.

From extended Linux support lifecycles to enhanced Kubernetes platform capabilities, SUSE is aiming to give customers expanded choice while enabling emerging technological use cases. As part of its SUSEcon updates, there are new versions of multiple platforms including SUSE Linux Enterprise 15 service pack 6, SUSE Manager, Rancher Prime 3.1, NeuVector Prime 5.4 and Harvester 1.3.1, SUSE Adaptive Telco Infrastructure Platform 3.0 and SUSE Edge 3.0

In a move to address the growing complexity of cloud networking, the Linux Foundation launched Paraglider, an open source initiative designed to simplify setting up and managing networks across multiple cloud providers.
