StarlingX is Turning 5!

StarlingX — the open source distributed cloud platform optimized for low-latency and high-performance applications — is turning five this year. In fact, the project was announced on the keynote stage in Vancouver, BC, Canada five years ago. The community will gather in the same city, during the OpenInfra Summit on June 13-15 to recognize this milestone and celebrate. The project has come a long way since 2018, and the community will present, discuss and evaluate the progress they made, and look into the roadmap and plans for the next five years at the conference.

A few highlights to mention:

StarlingX is an implementation of the LOKI stack, as it creates a fusion between well-known open source projects including the Linux kernel, OpenStack and Kubernetes.
StarlingX use cases continue to expand across industries, from telecommunications to transportation.

The OpenInfra Summit brings a lot of StarlingX-focused sessions and activities to help you learn more about the project and get in touch with the community.

Conference sessions to look out for include:

StarlingX: Next generation security with Zero Trust architecture
StarlingX at scale – Infrastructure management of 10s of 1000s of geographically distributed clouds
StarlingX: Next generation infrastructure for cloud native
Enabling the Intelligent Edge with StarlingX
StarlingX Evolution – New Deployment Architectures

If you would like to learn more about how to deploy and configure StarlingX, make sure to sign up for the StarlingX Hands-on Workshop.

If you are already using or evaluating StarlingX, or have a use case that the project would be great for, make sure you add the StarlingX in the Field – Bring Your Use Case Forum session to your event agenda. This is an interactive session where users and developers of the project get together to discuss use cases, gather feedback about the project and evaluate new ideas and priorities for the project’s roadmap.

The StarlingX community will also participate in the in-person Project Teams Gathering (PTG), to have more in-depth technical discussions about the project. Their session is currently scheduled for Wednesday (June 14) at 2:30 pm. As the schedule might change, please check the event’s agenda for any last-minute updates.

Last, but not least, the community will have an informal gathering on Wednesday, after conference hours, to celebrate the project’s 5th anniversary. Please RSVP to the event, if you would like to join and mingle with members of the community and the project’s ecosystem.
