OpenStack’s Post

“Quite discreetly, the OpenInfra Foundation and the open-source projects it promotes (such as OpenStack, and the Kata Containers, virtual machines (VM) as containers) are changing the world. As Younghold Han, Hyundai's VP of car cloud, said in an interview, "There are several reasons why we are using an OpenStack private cloud, hCloud. First, there's data security. Let's remember that a few weeks ago, Azure had a major security failure. We want to control our security. And finally, there's cost. So before Hyundai, I worked in Samsung's mobile business unit. We launched multiple services for our users that ran on AWS, and you cannot imagine how the costs grew exponentially. So we built out our private cloud." Samsung and Hyundai aren't the only ones moving to private clouds. Michael Dell, Dell CEO, quoted Barclay's CIO Survey 2024: "83% of enterprises plan to move workloads back to private cloud from public cloud." … Now seven years old, Kata is gaining traction, particularly for securing AI workloads. Kata isn't gaining users just in the OpenStack space. Microsoft Azure is deploying Kata Containers for its confidential computing service, while AWS is talking about large-scale Kata deployment. Moreover, Nvidia is using Kata Containers to secure AI workloads, highlighting its importance in the rapidly growing field of artificial intelligence.” Steven Vaughan-Nichols
