Building on the momentum of its OCI platform, the vendor has announced two new on-premises extensions of OCI that use the same second-generation architecture and hardware as its public cloud.

The company is highlighting its newest offerings as a way to help customers and partners in the post-COVID economy. The GreenLake extension leverages HPE's years of experience in streamlined provisioning for on-premises pay-as-you-go deployments, while the Ezmeral portfolio incorporates HPE assets and open source software to challenge competitors as a foundation for business transformation.
The company's flagship product depends on Kubernetes, but has forged its own path by using a purpose-built data plane rather than Envoy. Google's recent decision to transfer Istio's trademarks to a new organization reinforces Linkerd's position as the foremost Kubernetes-based service mesh in the CNCF ecosystem.
SUSE has set out to make significant changes thanks to its independence and a new CEO. The vendor has previously made a foray into the container space but now it's cementing that focus by acquiring container management specialist Rancher Labs, bolstering its portfolio of Kubernetes-related products and services.
