Welcome to the first edition of Road to KubeCon , where we'll track the world of Kubernetes as we approach KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America, November 9-12 in Salt Lake City. This week, we're catching up on recent developments across the Kubernetes universe, including Kubernetes v1. 37 Garhwal, CNCF project graduations, HPE, AKS, and VMware updates, and why access control deserves more attention.
In a recent HPE Developer Community Meetup session , technologists Colin Taylor , Don Wake , and Eamonn O'Toole from HPE Hybrid Cloud dove deep into updates to HPE Morpheus , the platform for operating infrastructure as code for hybrid clouds. Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) is a presenting sponsor of Road to KubeCon. HPE Software helps IT organizations modernize infrastructure, streamline operations, and accelerate AI initiatives across hybrid, multi-vendor environments. The major news is around the Morpheus Terraform Provider, whose functionality has now been converged into the HPE Terraform provider.
HPE also released tfmigrator , a tool that automates migration from the standalone Morpheus provider to the unified HPE provider. The session explored how HPE Morpheus and Terraform support infrastructure management across hybrid environments, including changes to the HPE Terraform provider and tools for migrating existing configurations. If you're using Morpheus and want to get into the weeds of the latest platform updates, or are just curious if someone named Morpheus will offer you a red or blue pill, definitely check out the latest community chat .
Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF), the arm of the Linux Foundation that shepherds Kubernetes and countless other cloud-native open source projects, all replete with Kube-this and Kube-that branding and cuddly mascots (228 projects at the time of writing), announced a few major graduations in recent weeks. For those unaware, "graduation" status means the project is highly mature, has completed security reviews, and has a vendor-neutral governance model in place to sustain it. That's a good sign it'll stick around for a while. A rare blessing for open-source .
