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.
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.
AI Needs a Home: Why OpenStack is the Power Plant for Artificial Intelligence
Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and GenAI are no longer just buzzwords; they are massive, production-grade workloads. But this revolution runs on a very specific, very expensive, and very power-hungry resource: accelerators like GPUs.
While public clouds offer these resources, the costs can be astronomical for the 24/7 training and large-scale inference that serious AI requires. Organizations are also increasingly concerned about data sovereignty and network latency.
This is where OpenStack becomes the critical-yet-unsung hero.
The Great Migration: Why Broadcom's VMware Decisions Are Driving Customers to OpenStack
The technology landscape is experiencing a major shift, and it’s all centered around virtualization. The acquisition of VMware by Broadcom has set off a tidal wave of strategic reviews in IT departments worldwide.
Faced with the end of perpetual licenses, a mandatory shift to new subscription-only models (often bundled into the all-or-nothing VMware Cloud Foundation - VCF), and significant price hikes, long-time VMware customers are feeling backed into a corner.
KCD Mexico in Guadalajara, Mexico 2025
For the open-source community, there are few events as authentic as the Southern California Linux Expo, better known as SCaLE. It’s the largest community-run open-source conference in North America. So, it made perfect sense that the OpenInfra Foundation chose to co-locate its “OpenInfra Days North America” event right...
Open Infrastructure Foundation Board Announces Intent to Join the Linux Foundation to Amplify the Global Impact of Open Source
The first ever OpenInfra Days North America (United States, Mexico, and Canada) 2024.
