mastodon 4.7.3We build open source communities who write software that runs in production.
Registration is officially LIVE for the next OpenInfra Project Teams Gathering!
The PTG is where the global open source community comes together to discuss technical roadmaps, address gaps, and coordinate upstream development for projects like @OpenStack@social.openinfra.dev, @KataContainers@social.openinfra.dev, @StarlingX@social.openinfra.dev, and @ZuulCI@social.openinfra.dev.
Don't miss the chance to collaborate with your team. Reserve your virtual spot today!
AI agents and GPU workloads are expanding the attack surface—fast.
At #KubeConEU, NVIDIA integrated GPU support with Kata Containers, bringing hardware-isolated execution to accelerated AI workloads on Kubernetes.
Stronger isolation.
Less host exposure.
A better foundation for secure AI.
Digital sovereignty isn’t about isolation, it’s about control, choice, & resilience.
Discover how #OpenInfra projects @OpenStack@social.openinfra.dev, @KataContainers@social.openinfra.dev, @StarlingX@social.openinfra.dev, & @ZuulCI@social.openinfra.dev are helping organizations build trusted, flexible systems without vendor lock-in
AI agents need stronger isolation than traditional containers can provide.
The @KataContainers@social.openinfra.dev community is exploring how hardware-virtualized sandboxing can help secure AI workloads running on Kubernetes from agent isolation to confidential computing
The #OpenInfra Foundation has officially joined the @linuxfoundation@social.lfx.dev, marking a monumental moment for #opensource.
As Jonathan Bryce says, the open source standards for OS (Linux), cloud infra (@OpenStack@social.openinfra.dev) & containers (Kubernetes) are now all under the same collaborative umbrella.
Let's get to work!
Today, alongside the Linux Foundation, we are excited to announce the plan to create a stronger, united open source ecosystem! 🎉 With unanimous approval from both boards, the OpenInfra Foundation has the opportunity to become a member foundation of the LF.
Let’s celebrate this new chapter in OSS!
Kata Containers 4.0.0 is on the horizon — and the preview is now available.
This release focuses on what matters in production: stronger isolation, better performance, and deeper integration with modern cloud-native stacks. It’s a step forward for teams running mixed workloads that need both container speed and VM-level security.
Explore what’s coming in 4.0.0 and get involved:

RE: @KataContainers@social.openinfra.dev
At OpenInfra Foundation, we see this kind of open source innovation as critical to building trusted, scalable infrastructure for what’s next, and are excited to see #OpenInfra Platinum Member Ant Group sharing their Kata use case.
France’s national railway is running a cloud-native platform built on open source, combining @OpenStack@social.openinfra.dev & Kubernetes to deliver a fully controlled, in-country infrastructure stack.
This is the OpenInfra Blueprint: OpenStack providing the foundational compute, storage, and networking layer, with Kubernetes delivering modern application orchestration on top. Together, they enable public cloud–like capabilities without giving up control of data, operations, or governance.
Join the OpenInfra Foundation this weekend at @FOSDEM to learn more about @OpenStack@social.openinfra.dev, @KataContainers@social.openinfra.dev, @StarlingX@social.openinfra.dev, @ZuulCI@social.openinfra.dev and how you can get started contributing!

Open source is at the heart of digital sovereignty and it was front and center at Open Sovereign Cloud Day.
At the KubeCon CloudNativeCon co-located event, one theme came through clearly: organizations need infrastructure they can control, adapt, and trust. OpenStack continues to power that shift, giving operators the flexibility to build sovereign cloud environments without vendor lock-in while still integrating with the broader open source ecosystem.
💫We are thrilled to share that the #OpenInfraSummit Europe has been officially scheduled for October 17-19, 2025, at École Polytechnique near Paris, France!

The question is no longer just how to scale #AI, but how to securely contain it. In this live discussion Thursday, leaders from Ant Group, NVIDIA, Google, and the Linux Foundation will explore why traditional container isolation falls short for agent-based systems, and what changes when agents have persistent memory, filesystem access, GPUs, or external execution authority.

"Spitzkop joins the #OpenInfra ecosystem to build the future of sovereignty. By leveraging @KataContainers@social.openinfra.dev, we provide hardware-level isolation for sensitive AI & Cloud workloads. Proud to support open standards that ensure data privacy and trust."
Great perspective from @Sparkycollier@fosstodon.org on joining the PyTorch Foundation: as #opensource #AI accelerates, long-term success depends on stewardship, neutral governance, and a healthy ecosystem, not just speed.
Drawing on lessons from @OpenStack@social.openinfra.dev and #OpenInfra, he highlights how sustainable infrastructure and community leadership are essential to keep the AI stack open, resilient, and trusted.
From reference architectures from organizations like LY, SAP and SNCF highlighting Kubernetes + @OpenStack@social.openinfra.dev to growing momentum behind @KataContainers@social.openinfra.dev for secure, sandboxed workloads, #OpenInfra had a visible and growing presence across #KubeCon #CloudNativeCon EU.
What emerged wasn’t just project awareness, it was a cohesive narrative around how open infrastructure underpins sovereign, scalable, and AI-ready platforms.

The contributors, operators, and communities behind open infrastructure are what make real choice possible and break dependency on centralized platforms. #digitalsovereignty #opensource
When building infrastructure for machine learning, it's easy to treat every scaling issue as a brand new problem. The Zuul community is showing why trusted open source automation matters more than ever.
Join us for the next OpenInfra Live, featuring Clark Boylan from OpenDev, Monty Taylor, James Blair from Acme Gating, and Johannes Foufas from Volvo Cars.

The latest Kata Containers blog explores how Kata Containers integrates with Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), bringing lightweight VM-based isolation to Kubernetes environments running in production.
This integration highlights the power of open collaboration across the #opensource ecosystem and the growing demand for secure-by-design infrastructure.
We’re thrilled to introduce our newest Silver Member: Hystax, a cloud migration and disaster recovery organization, showing the continued momentum of VMware to OpenStack Migration.

The April 2026 OpenInfra PTG brought contributors together across @OpenStack@social.openinfra.dev, @KataContainers@social.openinfra.dev and @StarlingX@social.openinfra.dev and more to align software roadmaps, tackle operational challenges, and move open infrastructure forward together.
The PTG remains one of the most important spaces for the OpenInfra community to turn ideas into execution.
