OpenInfra Foundation

In 2025, #OpenInfra projects saw a significant rise in visibility driven by major technical milestones, market relevance, and proven real-world adoption. Kata Container’s emerging role in securing AI workloads, StarlingX’s renewed conformance achievements, Zuul’s expanding CI/CD presence, and OpenStack’s continued market leadership all reinforced a compelling narrative: open source infrastructure is powering the world’s most demanding workloads, from AI and 5G/6G to scientific computing and sovereign clouds. As AI-driven requirements continue to reshape infrastructure in 2026, OpenInfra projects are well positioned to evolve alongside them, strengthening our community’s shared ability to meet the challenges of a rapidly changing landscape. https://lnkd.in/gs_C-6RZ

2025 #OpenInfra Community Highlight: Joining forces with the Linux Foundation was not just a structural milestone but also a signal of our commitment to shaping the next chapter of open infrastructure together with the communities that create the technologies that run today’s workloads. Working together gives us the scale, reach, and alignment needed to provide the secure, high-performance, and interoperable infrastructure that those new workloads require. https://lnkd.in/gs_C-6RZ

2025 #OpenInfra Community Highlights: The global OpenInfra community hosted over 60 meetups, including 30 celebrations for OpenStack’s 15th Birthday, connecting over 1,400 community members across the globe. In addition to local meetups, the OpenInfra community hosted eight OpenInfra Days reaching over 1,000 community members, including the inaugural OpenInfra Day Kenya, as well as OpenInfra and Kubernetes Community Day China. https://lnkd.in/gs_C-6RZ

2025 #OpenInfra Community Highlight: The OpenInfra Summit Europe served as the year’s centerpiece for visibility, convening global contributors, operators, researchers, and industry leaders. The sold-out event of 1,200 attendees emphasized resilience, digital sovereignty, AI infrastructure, and the importance of open alternatives to proprietary cloud platforms. #OpenInfraSummit Highlights: https://lnkd.in/gCkUsias

2025 was a milestone year for #opensource as #OpenInfra joined The Linux Foundation. This unification brings the OpenStack and OpenInfra communities alongside Linux and Kubernetes, strengthening collaboration and accelerating open source innovation.

As a member of the StarlingX Technical Steering Committee, Thales Elero Cervi (Encora Inc.) brings hands-on experience from mission-critical edge deployments into the project’s technical direction. In this TFiR interview, Thales shares why StarlingX continues to matter for secure, highly distributed edge environments and how open governance ensures the platform evolves to meet real operator needs over the long term. https://lnkd.in/gvR6s-FW #StarlingX #OpenInfra #EdgeComputing #OpenSource

Today, we’ve published the OpenInfra Foundation 2025 Annual Report: “Resilience for a Changing World: A Year of Change, Progress, and Renewed Purpose.” This year’s report highlights major momentum across the OpenInfra Foundation and supported projects, including: - Joining forces with The Linux Foundation, expanding our scale and alignment with the broader open source ecosystem  - OpenStack’s continued resurgence, with the latest user survey reporting 55M+ documented cores in production and two releases (2025.1 “Epoxy” and 2025.2 “Flamingo”).  - Project progress and adoption, including Kata Containers’ industry momentum (including work tied to agent sandboxing and securing AI workloads), StarlingX releases + Kubernetes conformance renewal, and Zuul’s expanding CI/CD footprint  - Community visibility and events, led by a sold-out OpenInfra Summit Europe (1,200 registrants) and expanded global engagement through meetups and OpenInfra Days  - Strengthening financial resilience, including membership growth and in-kind infrastructure support for 2026 Read the full report here: https://lnkd.in/gs_C-6RZ
