SAN
FRANCISCO, April 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/
-- The Linux Foundation, the nonprofit organization
enabling mass innovation through open source, is excited to
announce the launch of Paraglider, a new open source initiative to
simplify the setup and management of networks both within a cloud
and across multiple clouds. Launched in collaboration with Aarna
Networks, Broadcom, Google Cloud, IBM, Intel, Microsoft, Uber, and
UC Berkeley, Paraglider is set to redefine how cloud customers
provision and manage their networks across multiple cloud
providers.
Paraglider streamlines cloud
networking across multiple cloud providers and simplifies
operations within cloud networks.
Cloud networks have long faced issues of complexity, requiring
users to navigate complicated low-level networking components to
achieve their connectivity goals. Paraglider manages this
complexity by exposing a high-level API that aligns directly with
the tenant's connectivity intent, empowering users to focus on what
their networks are trying to achieve, rather than the intricacies
of network assembly.
Paraglider differentiates itself by providing a unified,
simplified API across clouds to directly specify network-level
connectivity needs. By seamlessly creating the necessary networking
infrastructure based on a tenant's high-level connectivity intent,
users no longer have to worry about the 'how' of their networks and
can instead focus on what they want those networks to achieve.
Paraglider further enables users to operate across multiple clouds,
choosing the right cloud service provider for each element of their
workload, without worrying about complex details of Cloud
inter-connectivity.
As the Paraglider community works toward the release of a
production-ready cloud tenant networking solution, users are
encouraged to contribute to its development, explore its
capabilities, and extend its functionality to additional Cloud and
on-premise infrastructure providers. To learn more about Paraglider
and how to participate, please visit the project's website and
GitHub repository.
