OpenInfra Foundation Board Announces Intent to Join the Linux Foundation to Amplify the Global Impact of Open SourceLEARN MORE
Organizations have turned to the cloud to increase operational efficiency while decreasing costs. Recent studies have shown that these same organizations are turning to hybrid cloud infrastructure powered by a mixture of open source technologies for additional flexibility around workload repatriation. Within production hybrid clouds, OpenInfra technologies provide container security, edge nodes, CI/CD, secure private clouds and the largest footprint of public cloud data centers in the world.
