SUSE's open source digest - November 2024
The next edition of SUSE's monthly newsletter is here! Join us as we explore the latest and greatest in open source this month.

The @Open Source Initiative (OSI) released?Open Source AI Definition (OSAID) 1.0?on October 28 at the @All Things Open Conference.
"SUSE applauds the progress made by the OSI?and its OSAID. The efforts are culminating in a very thorough definition, which is important for the quickly evolving AI landscape and the role of open source within it. We commend the process OSI is utilizing to arrive at the definition and the adherence to the open source methodologies," said Alan Clark, Office Of The CTO, SUSE.
As open source continues to grow, there have been several instances where an open source project has suddenly changed its license to a more restrictive one. This article explores the different open source licenses and shares how to navigate those.
We recently announced the release of two major updates designed to enhance edge computing capabilities for enterprises and telecommunications providers.
?? SUSE Edge 3.1 enables enterprises to improve operational efficiency and deploy innovations to the edge faster by modernizing their edge operations.
?? SUSE Adaptive Telco Infrastructure Platform (ATIP) 3.1 has been designed to reduce costs and accelerate revenue generation for communication service providers through a lightweight, open source telco cloud layer that hosts virtualized and container-based network functions.
ABI Research recognized SUSE as a leader, top innovator and top implementer in the 5G Cloud-Native Platforms: Kubernetes, Containers and CaaS Layer.
SUSE's Adaptive Telco Infrastructure Platform (ATIP)?is purpose-built to empower telecom operators in the 5G era. ATIP enables seamless, scalable deployment of 5G network functions with a secure, cloud-native architecture, allowing communications service providers to leverage edge computing for ultra-low latency services, all without substantial additional costs.
?? Experts' Opinions and Trends
This month we released our first ever "Securing the Cloud" APAC trend report, exploring cloud security challenges in the Asia-Pacific region, focusing on the impact of GenAI and edge computing on cloud security.
Three key findings from the report include:
? 84% of IT leaders are willing to migrate to the cloud and edge, but data safety needs to be guaranteed. This means that security remains a critical barrier to broader cloud adoption in the region.
? 57% of IT decision-makers are worried about privacy and data security in GenAI cloud security.
? 64% and 62% of teams have confirmed a cloud or edge security incident over the last 12 months respectively.
In this article on Informa TechTarget , George Lawton shares the top trends shaping the future of cloud computing.
According to Vishal Ghariwala , Senior Director and CTO, Asia Pacific at SUSE, the future IT computing model will gradually progress from on-premises to cloud and edge computing. Vishal also acknowledged that this will lead to businesses needing to develop skills to unify on-premises, cloud and edge environments that accommodate cloud-native development approaches, maximize AI applications and support a solid security foundation.
With the rise of cloud native development, observability and monitoring are often used interchangeably. While monitoring is well-known, observability refers to a system's ability to generate actionable insights for understanding its state.
In complex cloud native architectures, traditional observability is insufficient. Topology-based observability excels by mapping how components interact, helping to visualize relationships and understand performance issues.
