Mirantis this week rolled out Mirantis OpenStack for Kubernetes, an instance of the open source cloud management framework in which all the components have been encapsulated in containers.

Shaun O’Meara, global field CTO at Mirantis, says that approach makes it possible to then employ Kubernetes to orchestrate those containers.

Mirantis OpenStack for Kubernetes is the first in a planned series of enhancements to the Mirantis Cloud Native Platform, a family of offerings based on Kubernetes that includes Mirantis Container Cloud, the container platform formerly known as Docker Enterprise that Mirantis acquired last year.

O’Meara says the goal is to make it easier to deploy, manage and update a widely employed cloud management framework that continues to be advanced under the auspices of the Open Infrastructure Foundation, formerly known as The OpenStack Foundation.

That approach also makes it possible to deploy OpenStack on either a virtual machine or on a bare-metal server, notes O’Meara. Even the kernel-based virtual machine (KVM) foundation on which OpenStack is most frequently deployed has been encapsulated in a container, he says.

Bare-metal instances of Kubernetes are gaining traction among financial service firms, organizations that are building artificial intelligence (AI) applications based on machine learning algorithms and telecommunications carriers—all of which trying to minimize the overhead a virtual machine adds to an IT environment, notes O’Meara.

OpenStack is most widely employed by telecommunications carriers and other IT service providers as an open source alternative to a commercial stack of virtual machine software from VMware. That approach enables organizations to deploy a cloud framework at scale without incurring massive software licensing costs.

The OpenStack framework has seen less adoption among enterprise IT organizations, but O’Meara notes that since the transition to cloud-native computing began, adoption of OpenStack has increased as organizations look to deploy containerized applications at scale. Mirantis OpenStack for Kubernetes will enable both service providers and enterprise IT organizations to expand their reliance on OpenStack using the same Kubernetes orchestration engine they already employ to manage containers in what are now highly distributed computing environments, he says.

That approach ultimately serves to reduce the total cost of managing IT environments that need to be able to run both cloud-native applications and legacy monolithic applications, he adds.

Longer-term, the convergence of Kubernetes and OpenStack should reduce the level of tension that surrounds both platforms. As Kubernetes continues to evolve, there are those that advocate the platform will one day replace OpenStack with a set of cloud-native extensions. The Mirantis approach effectively turns all the components that make up OpenStack today into a set of containers that run natively on Kubernetes. Previously, organizations could deploy OpenStack on Kubernetes, but each component was not a set of containers that could be individually orchestrated.

Of course, Kubernetes today is more commonly deployed on OpenStack and VMware because it provides a method for provisioning a complex platform using a familiar set of IT management tools. However, as cloud-native computing environments continue to expand, the relationship between the components that make us a management framework and Kubernetes are clearly still evolving.

BELLEVUE, Wash., Nov. 02, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — 5G Americas, the wireless industry trade consortium and voice of 5G and LTE for the Americas, today announced the election of VMware to its Board of Governors. VMware will join the wireless industry’s leading operators and manufacturers who are crucial to the deployment of 5G and beyond throughout the Americas region.

“VMware’s experience in disruptive technologies like edge computing, artificial intelligence, blockchain, machine learning, Kubernetes orchestration and more– is defining the digital foundation that will accelerate the next wave of innovation,” stated Chris Pearson, President of 5G Americas. “We are ecstatic to announce that VMware is joining the 5G Americas Board of Governors as we work towards a transformative connected 5G society.”

With the emergence of 5G, telcos have an opportunity to reinvent themselves, develop new business models, and engage with the larger innovation ecosystem to deliver new services that are more germane in the digital world. This transformation can require a virtualized and containerized telco cloud architecture to modernize legacy networks. VMware focuses on delivering the cost, agility, and scalability benefits of a cloud, tailored to communications service provider (CSP) needs including Telco Cloud Infrastructure, Telco Cloud Automation and Telco Cloud Operations. The company counts more than 100 communications service providers globally as customers serving millions of subscribers.

“As the CSPs scale out their systems with 5G, significant opportunities remain untapped,” said Kaniz Mahdi, Vice President, Advanced Technologies, Telco Edge and Cloud, VMware. “We are thrilled to join the 5G Americas Board of Governors and look forward to bridging the wireless and cloud industries for the digital transformation of our society with fusion of 5G, AI and Cloud.”

The addition of VMware to the association brings added expertise in the growing 5G technology wireless ecosystem, including areas such as those highlighted in 5G Americas white papers involving 5G and the Cloud and 5G at the Edge.

What kind of business has the billing capability of a telecommunications giant, the e-commerce platform of a global online retailer and the security capability of a government agency?

Potentially any kind of business, as it happens. Today businesses of all sizes are accessing technological capabilities that were once the preserve of large companies simply by tapping into the cloud – an internet-based form of computing where processing resources and data are shared with computers and other devices on demand.

The cloud can be used for a host of business purposes, from storing and sharing documents and data through to accounting, collaboration, file backup and inspecting web and email traffic for viruses and spyware.

What’s more, it offers substantial cost savings by bundling together application development, infrastructure, maintenance and support services and allowing organisations to only pay for the services that they use.

Unsurprisingly, then, the global cloud services market is estimated to be worth $246.8 billion (£190bn) in 2017, according to analyst Gartner, with cloud adoption strategies likely to influence more than 50 per cent of IT outsourcing deals by 2020.

It is not just computing power that makes the cloud so influential. The technology also enables businesses to be more agile in how they create new products and services, respond to their customers and fend off competitive threats.

“In the last few years, the cloud has transformed businesses in a way that we could never have imagined,” says Andrew Lowe, operations, EALA infrastructure, cloud strategy and origination lead at consulting firm Accenture. “It allows organisations to tap new capabilities and rebuild their services and processes at a rapid pace.”

For start-ups, the process of adopting cloud as a service for business tools is relatively straightforward since they aren’t weighed down by cumbersome legacy systems. It is more challenging for established businesses to migrate since they have legacy applications and infrastructure that are not in the cloud. Fortunately, however, they are also likely to have experienced staff with strong technological skillsets – so moving to the cloud will give these staff the opportunity to use their skillsets in new and different ways.

As an example, capacity management skills will become redundant since capacity in a cloud world is theoretically infinite. So businesses can reassign their experts in this area to the management of finite budgets instead, giving them responsibility for forecasting demand and driving efficiency savings. Most companies are not geared up to adopt new technology at a rapid pace, but the agility of the cloud helps to improve the overall flexibility of the IT environment. In particular, it moves the IT team from being a traditional support function to taking a more proactive and strategic role within the company.

The most successful migrations to the cloud usually occur when a company embraces cloud as an enabler to its business goals as opposed to seeing it as a solution to its IT infrastructure problems. “Moving to the cloud can be a complex and challenging process,” says Mr Lowe.

“Before undertaking such a move, you need to understand the end-to-end business benefits and outcomes. What is the strategy you are looking to achieve and what agility  will it deliver back to you and your customers? Also, how will you undertake that migration? It is fundamental to understand the applications, processes and services that are being migrated. Simply moving to the cloud is not the end game. Understanding and realising the benefits of moving to the cloud requires on-going management and optimisation of the services.”

Making effective use of the cloud is a three-stage process, according to Accenture.

The first stage consists of defining at the outset exactly how the cloud will support the organisation, including which applications and processes will be moved onto it and which cloud infrastructure will best meet the business’s needs while minimising complexities and risks.

Next is the formal stage where applications are migrated onto the right cloud environment in a disciplined way. “Identifying applications that can be moved to the cloud requires organisations to have a fundamental understanding of the application itself, what it’s supporting and the business services that it’s delivering to clients and customers,” explains Mr Lowe.

The final stage is to embrace the agile approach to project management and the cultural change that it brings. The agile approach, which aims to achieve small goals quickly, is better suited to fast-moving technology projects than the step-by-step waterfall approach traditionally used on construction projects.

By enabling smaller companies to take on the multinationals, the cloud is shaking up the business world. “The cloud is both a catalyst and a connector,” says Mr Lowe. “It allows organisations to source, scale and deliver on demand better than ever before. This agility means they are better equipped to respond to market pressures, to out-innovate the competition and to keep ahead of the pack.”
