Benefits include sales and marketing, training and certification, partner managers, portfolio differentiation, and automated deal registration.

A fully managed, enterprise-grade Kubernetes service that is designed to work out-of-the-box on VMware.

Kubernetes monitoring and LM Service Insight provide performance analytics and data retention for microservices and containerised applications.

While many companies had previously been afraid of making the move, new advances in cloud security have reduced the number of successful cyber attacks.

The solution aims to provide teams deploying microservices applications with an automated way to integrate enterprise-grade security with comprehensive application visibility and analytics.

“Making teams more productive is essential to scaling machine learning capabilities in the enterprise."

NeuVector, which also offers next-generation container firewall, says the additions will stop vulnerable images from deploying into Kubernetes production environments.

“Kubernetes is emerging as an open framework for multi-cloud infrastructure that enables business transformation."

"Providing the right infrastructure for on-demand applications and cloud-native services is critical for digital transformation."

It’s clear that this release from Google is part of an attempt to bolster its hybrid cloud strategy amidst fierce rivalry.

The Hitachi enterprise cloud container platform is now pre-engineered with Mesosphere and Kubernetes.

The partnership includes the installation of a Kubernetes cluster backed by high-performance storage to accelerate the training of AI models.

The application container software market will grow 40% over the next few years, reaching nearly $3 billion by 2020, according to 451 Research.

Red Hat acquired CoreOS in January, describing them as an innovator and leader in Kubernetes and container-native solutions.

The two companies say the development marks the first jointly managed OpenShift offering in the public cloud.

“Our latest wave of innovation is intended to arm customers with the tools needed to translate AI into actionable intelligence.”

IBM is preparing for the expected AI explosion with a new platform for machine learning and a team of expert consultants.

Red Hat aims to further accelerate adoption and development of industry-leading hybrid cloud platforms.

The company is backed by well-known Silicon Valley angels and executives from Google, Amazon and Facebook.

In addition, Red Hat is making its newly-launched Red Hat Enterprise Linux for SAP Solutions available as part of the Red Hat Developer Program.

The new platform is built on the open source Kubernetes-based container architecture and supports both Docker containers and Cloud Foundry.

“We share a common vision of a hybrid cloud world that delivers the speed of innovation in an open and secure environment."

Microsoft and Red Hat are extending their alliance with two new initiatives aimed at supporting enterprises in their adoption of containers.

The goal is to make building cloud-agnostic, portable, containerized infrastructure easier for developers and IT operators using Kubernetes.
