Ceph Adoption in Latin America
Ceph adoption in Latin America has grown exponentially in recent years. As a software-defined storage (SDS) solution, Ceph offers the flexibility and scalability that companies in the region need to handle large volumes of data efficiently and economically.
From public cloud deployments to critical private infrastructures, Ceph has established itself as the de facto standard for storage in open source environments across the region.
Community Impact: The Ceph User Survey To better understand how Ceph is being used in the real world, the Ceph User Council recently launched the “Ceph User Stores Survey”. Unlike previous general surveys, this initiative specifically targets production clusters to understand real-world use cases, performance strengths, and scalability limitations.
Why Public Clouds Aren't the Only Way to Build AI: The Sovereign AI Stack
The AI revolution is here, but it’s creating a new kind of dependency. As organizations race to build AI-powered applications, many are defaulting to the public cloud, surrendering control over their data, their compute, and their costs. But there’s another way. You can build a Sovereign AI Stack—an open source, on-premise infrastructure that gives you full ownership and control.
This isn’t just about saving money; it’s about owning your data and your compute in the age of AI. It’s about data sovereignty.
CNCF DEI Initiatives: Building a Welcoming Cloud Native Community
The Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF) is not just about Kubernetes and container orchestration; it is deeply committed to fostering a diverse, equitable, and inclusive (DEI) environment. The foundation recognizes that a vibrant community relies on welcoming individuals from all backgrounds.
Linux Foundation and OpenStack: Championing Diversity in Open Source
The Linux Foundation (LF) is a massive umbrella for many of the world’s most critical open source projects, including OpenStack (now supported under the OpenInfra Foundation which collaborates closely with LF ideals). Both entities understand that diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) are not optional add-ons but essential components for innovation and sustainability.
OpenInfra Foundation's DEI Initiatives: Building a Community for Everyone
The Open Infrastructure Foundation (OIF) has made Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) a cornerstone of its mission. Understanding that building the next generation of infrastructure requires the perspectives of a global and varied community, the foundation has established robust frameworks to ensure everyone has a seat at the table.

Unlock the full potential of eBPF by writing custom Python tools with the BCC framework and exploring advanced use cases.
Take your eBPF debugging skills to the next level with BCC tools and more advanced bpftrace scripts.
OpenStack is a vast ecosystem of projects, each with its own lifecycle. Some projects mature and become cornerstones of the platform, while others, over time, can see a decline in activity. One such project, Freezer, the OpenStack service for backup, restore, and disaster recovery, was on such a path, nearing a state...
