The creator of the open-source Linkerd project is profitable after adding an enterprise version with stable releases and additional features. By focusing on operational simplicity, Buoyant aims to cut through the fog of service mesh complexity with a battle-tested and easy-to-use alternative.
Cloud-native patterns and open-source developments were on display at the KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe conference. The biannual gathering focused on how the container ecosystem continues to mature. Analysts Jean Atelsek and William Fellows join host Eric Hanselman to explore their insights from the event.
The company aims to lead the application of LLMs to agents that can learn from user behaviors and stored knowledge to autonomously reach defined goals. With open-source development tools, a wide-ranging "model garden" and proprietary packaged solutions, Google is going full tilt to build momentum.
At the recent KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe, stakeholders demonstrated how the open-source paradigm is stretching to accommodate existing assets while paving a path to modern applications. The expanded Day 0 program has become an event in its own right for developers and adopters, with over 6,000 attendees representing half the number of overall registrations.
With fleet management and zero-touch provisioning, the company is taking its place among incumbent system vendors as a provider of distributed and edge solutions. Broadcom's moves with respect to VMware packaging, licensing and pricing seem to have given it a lift.
