The OpenInfra Projects Overview slide deck from the same-titled presentation given by Ildiko Vancsa on March 29, 2024. It offers an in-depth exploration into the dynamic world of open infrastructure projects. As a seasoned expert and the Director of Community at the OpenInfra Foundation, Ildiko provides unique insights into the development, impact, and future directions of critical projects such as StarlingX, Kata Containers, and other edge computing initiatives.

3. THE FOUR OPENS
At the OpenInfra Foundation, we believe in openly-developed open source. This approach goes beyond
open source licensing, following our "Four Opens" principles:

4. OpenStack is a cloud operating
system that controls large pools
of compute, storage, and
networking resources
throughout a datacenter, all
managed and provisioned
through APIs with common
authentication mechanisms.

5. ONE OF THE MOST
ACTIVE OPEN
SOURCE PROJECTS
WITH 45 MILLION
CORES IN
PRODUCTION LEARN MORE AT

OpenStack 2024.1, the 29th release.
● More than 450 organizations have
contributed upstream to OpenStack,
making it one of the most active open
source projects in the world
● OpenStack public cloud footprint
exceeds 300 data centers worldwide

6. Kata Containers is an
open-source, secure container
runtime with lightweight virtual
machines that feel and perform
like containers, but provide
stronger workload isolation
using hardware virtualization
technology as a second layer
of defense.

7. KATACONTAINERS.IO
● Kata Containers is an OCI-compliant,
secure container runtime.
● The latest release of Kata Containers,
3.3.0, is now available!

8. StarlingX is an open-source,
complete cloud
infrastructure software stack
for distributed systems
suitable for use by the most
demanding applications in
industrial IOT, telecom, video
delivery and other ultra-low
latency use cases at scale.

9. LEARN MORE AT
STARLINGX.IO
A FULLY FEATURED
CLOUD FOR THE
DISTRIBUTED EDGE
● The platform is an implementation
of the LOKI stack, as it creates a
fusion between well known open
source projects including the Linux
kernel, OpenStack and Kubernetes.
● The new, StarlingX 9.0 release will
be available in the coming days!
● Currently running in production at
large telecom operators such as
T-Systems, Verizon, Vodafone,
KDDI, and more.

10. Zuul is an open source
CI/CD platform specializing
in gating changes across
multiple systems and
applications before landing
a single patch.

11. ● Zuul is a program that drives
continuous integration, delivery, and
deployment systems with a focus on
project gating and interrelated
projects.
● The latest release of Zuul, 10.0.0, is
now available!
● Currently running in production at
companies such as BMW, leboncoin,
Volvo, T-Systems, GoDaddy, and
more.
● Zuul is used by OpenInfra projects to
