Kubernetes has been heralded as the great interoperability point of the cloud era. Finally, development teams can write an application once hosted in a container and run it anywhere, on any cloud, public or private. And this is somewhat true. The industry has been through a lot of frameworks in the past few years, including RedHat’s OpenShift, open-source Kubernetes, Pivotal Cloud Foundry (PCF) running with containers, VMware Enterprise PKS, Rancher, Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) plus Amazon Elastic Container Service for Kubernetes (Amazon EKS),…

Panelists from Telia Carrier, COLT Technology Services and InfoVista discussed the current state of SD-WAN adoption in Europe and the important role managed service providers will play in defining standard service delivery models that promise a turnkey, low risk approach to deployment, compared to the DIY route taken by early adopters in the U.S. market.
The notion of a self-contained network that lives inside a controlled, secure perimeter has been blown apart with the advent of cloud computing and the Internet of Things. Instead, technology advances have led to a sprawling profusion of networks and individual devices that live outside the network edge or on the near or far edge of centralized networks, creating new computing demands and security challenges. When organizations began connecting their local area networks (LANs) across multiple sites, they created wide area networks (WANs). This WAN…
