The Linux Foundation recently announced that Google Cloud joined Linux Foundation Networking (LFN) at Platinum Level. LFN supports a large set of networking projects with the broadest community in the industry that collaborate on this opportunity.
Through its membership, Google will work on accelerating the use and adoption of open source technologies across cloud native networking, telecoms, network automation, 5G, and more.
Other LFN Platinum members are Amdocs, AT&T, Bell, China Mobile, China Telecom, Cisco, Deutsche Telekom, Ericsson, Huawei, IBM, Intel, Juniper Networks, Nokia, Orange, RedHat, Samsung, Tech Mahindra, Turk Telekom, Verizon, VMWare, Vodafone, and ZTE.
Google’s expectation is to contribute with its experience in building and collaborating on big open source projects like Kubernetes, Istio and Knative and to successfully integrate them into products like Anthos, a key pillar within the Linux Foundation Networking.
LFN include cutting edge projects on 5G, Cloud Native and Edge.
