SUSE/OpenSUSE: openSUSE Conference 2022, Outsourcing NeuVector to Microsoft, Using COVID-19 for PR

The call for papers for openSUSE Conference 2022 is open!

The call for papers is open until April 14. This leaves a less than 90 days to submit a proposal. The dates of the conference are scheduled for June 2 - 4. The organizing team is preparing for a hybrid conference involving both virtual talks and live talks from the Z-Bau in Nuremberg, Germany. Registration for the conference has also begun.

Since the close of the NeuVector acquisition three months ago, SUSE worked through the technical and legal considerations involved in open sourcing our eponymous cloud-native container security platform. NeuVector is an industry-leading security and compliance solution adopted by leading companies around the world. Open sourcing the NeuVector codebase not only makes NeuVector the technology of choice for the open source community, it also provides an even greater level of assurance to customers in highly regulated industries including government and federal customers, which is critical for proving a product they can trust and rely on.

The eventual solution, which comprised a 7-region national scale cloud, is primarily being used for disaster detection and prevention and has all workloads orchestrated via Kubernetes, using SUSE Rancher.
The solution was deployed seamlessly, on-time, and under budget as a result of open source components working together. Most importantly, the end result is the solid infrastructure backbone enabling the Indonesian Government to tackle the crisis effectively.
