- October 2022 - Cisco introduced FunctionClarity, a new open-source solution that aids in the security of serverless functions, significantly reducing the amount of code required to build and deploy cloud-native applications. The code can no longer be exposed at runtime using keyless or key pair methods. With the rapid expansion of serverless technologies such as AWS (Amazon Web Services) Lambda functions, the need for FunctionClarity-like platforms is growing. It is observed the demand for these solutions grew 3.5 times compared to what it was two years ago.
- February 2023 - Red Hat launched a cost-free subscription structure that grants partners access to Red Hat's open hybrid cloud portfolio.
