CONFIRMED PROJECTS
KATA CONTAINERS
Secure, lightweight CRI compatible virtualized containers.
Kata Containers is an open source project delivering increased container security and workload isolation through an implementation of lightweight virtual machines.
OPENSTACK
Programmable infrastructure for VMs, containers and bare metal.
OpenStack is an open source software project for creating private and public clouds, powering 75 public cloud data centers and thousands of private clouds at a scale of more than 15 million physical cores worldwide. Since launching in 2012, OpenStack has become one of the top 3 most active open source projects in addition to Linux and Chromium.
STARLINGX
Edge cloud computing infrastructure for high performance, ultra-low latency applications.
StarlingX is a complete cloud infrastructure software stack for the edge used by the most demanding applications in industrial IoT, telecom, and other use cases. Based on mature production software deployed in mission critical applications, newly open sourced StarlingX code is the base for edge implementations in scalable solutions that can be productized now.
ZUUL
CI/CD platform for gating changes across multiple systems/repos.
Zuul is an open source CI/CD platform specializing in gating changes across multiple systems and applications before landing on a single patch
OPENINFRA WORKING GROUPS
Edge Computing Group
Cloud Edge Computing: Beyond the Data Center
The Edge Computing Group is a working group comprised of architects and engineers across large enterprises, telecoms and technology vendors working to define and advance edge cloud computing. The focus is open infrastructure technologies, not exclusive to OpenStack.
Computing Force Network (CFN) Working Group
Connectivity, Computing and Capability - the New Era of Digital Infrastructure
The Computing Force Network working group is aiming to formulate solutions for common challenges with using related technologies, promoting technical implementations, and gradually building the next generation of open infrastructure.
Digital Sovereignty Working Group
OpenInfra guidance and collaboration around digital sovereignty strategies.
The OpenInfra Digital Sovereignty Working Group meets regularly to collaborate on guiding resources in the space and how to leverage OpenInfra technologies, surface new regulations that are being leveled globally shaping the future of digital sovereignty, discuss case studies and share perspectives from different regions around the world.
OpenInfra for AI Working Group
Leveraging OpenInfra projects to power AI workloads.
The OpenInfra for AI Working Group is focused on surfacing how OpenInfra projects can be leveraged to support the growing proliferation of AI workloads. This ranges from promotion of case studies from OpenInfra users and operators to the OpenStack for AI Whitepaper which focused on OpenStack usage. As AI continues to grow and scale the infrastructure compute and storage requirements, this group will continue to collaborate on resources to showcase just how OpenInfra can support it. Keep an eye on mailing lists you’re subscribed to (Kata Containers, OpenStack, StarlingX, or Zuul) for upcoming opportunities!
VMware Migration Working Group
Guiding organizations from VMware to open, vendor-neutral infrastructure.
The OpenStack VMware Migration Working Group is a cross-community initiative within the OpenInfra Foundation that helps organizations transition from proprietary VMware environments to open, vendor-neutral infrastructure built on OpenStack. As licensing costs increase and digital sovereignty becomes a priority, the group brings together operators, vendors, and contributors to share proven migration patterns, reference architectures, and tooling that reduce risk and accelerate adoption. By addressing challenges such as workload portability, networking and storage parity, operational continuity, and skills transition, the working group provides a clear, actionable path for enterprises and service providers to modernize their infrastructure, and unlock greater control, transparency, and long-term ROI through open source infrastructure.
