OpenStack Hibiscus adds DNS security features and confidential computing to the open-source cloud platform (opens the original)
Read excerpt
AI is having an oversized impact on the open-source OpenStack cloud infrastructure platform. AI workloads are driving new hardware and storage requirements in OpenStack, while AI-assisted security research is driving up the number of vulnerability reports. Those are two of the prevailing themes in OpenStack 2026.2, code-named Hibiscus, which reaches general availability on Sept. 30. According to the OpenInfra Foundation, about 600 contributors delivered 11,500 code changes during the six-month c
Selector brings Git-based workflows and incident replay to network AI agents (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Network operations teams are being asked to hand real decisions to AI agents. Trusting an agent enough to let it act in production is a different problem than building one. Software engineering solved a similar trust problem years ago, with version control, code review, and staged rollouts. Selector is applying that same discipline to AI agents in network operations with a new technology called Foundry. Selector Foundry is a development and runtime environment that lets network operations teams
Cornelis lands $205M to make AI networks compute, not just connect (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Networks built for AI and HPC workloads have mostly focused on moving data faster between endpoints. That leaves compute idle while packets travel, a bottleneck vendors have tried to address mainly by adding bandwidth rather than changing what the fabric itself does. Cornelis Networks is taking a different approach. The company raised $205 million to fund its expansion into scale-up networking and introduced Active Compute Fabric, an architecture that puts programmable compute inside the network
The race to 1.6T: Ethernet and coherent optics tackle AI’s bandwidth crunch (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Networks have always been driven by the need for more speed and bandwidth, and in the AI era, that drive is accelerating the path to 1.6 terabit network connectivity. Work on 1.6T began in 2020 and became a formal IEEE study group in 2021, before AI was the industry’s dominant discussion point. That work became the IEEE P802.3dj Task Force, which has been building out the specifications that are now in the balloting and formal review process before finalization, which could happen later this yea
VMware Cloud Foundation 9.1 adds transit gateway flexibility, segmentation, and native EVPN VXLAN support (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Software-defined networking (SDN) and virtual networking have long been part of VMware’s portfolio, notably with the NSX technology that’s a foundational part of VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF). In 2025, VCF 9.0 expanded the networking capabilities with a public-cloud-style virtual private cloud model on top of that NSX foundation. The model gives tenants and VPC admins a simpler consumption layer over NSX’s underlying tier-0 and tier-1 gateways, which route traffic within the virtual environment
