Case Studies | Linux Foundation

KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America • NOV 9-12 • Salt Lake City • REGISTER NOW
The Linux Foundation is home to over 800 open source projects. The case studies here detail why projects benefit from being hosted at the Linux Foundation, and other studies here showcase how our projects support collaborative innovation around the world.
The Kubernetes-powered cloud abstraction layer has made it possible to write a multi-tenant application that allows customers the flexibility to control their usage and costs in a way they couldn’t by provisioning their own infrastructure.
Pytorch is used in an initiative to deeply annotate all Disney content and make it accessible at very granular levels to creatives. Miquel Farré is a senior technology manager at Disney, taking the lead on projects at the intersection of video technology, machine learning and web applications. In this talk, he speaks about the Genome project and talks more about this initiative.
Learn how IIoT works with the wine industry, in this case study that outlines how Fledge is being used by UC Davis and Opus One to create a multi-node wireless sensor network for UC Davis Teaching and Research Winery, and Opus One’s facility. The system successfully measures the CO2 levels in a winery to ultimately reduce costs and create safer conditions for the wine and the workers.
Loss detection in real time for self-checkout at point of sale for grocery or convenience stores. Using EdgeX Foundry to combine POS, RFID, Weight Scale and Computer Vision data all in a single pane of glass and use it to alert associates in real time. This demo showcases how to take advantage of data from sensors currently available in stores to create a better solution compared to using a single sensor (i.e. weight scale).
A case study of how two large European distribution and transmission systems operators, the Netherlands’ Alliander and France’s RTE, adopted and contributed to three significant LF Energy projects, SEAPATH, CoMPAS, and OpenSTEF so that their electrical substations can become more modular, interoperable, and scalable, and alleviate the challenges associated with less predictable renewable energy sources.
Hear how Dolby Labs is using PyTorch to develop deep learning for audio, and learn about the challenges that audio AI presents and the breakthroughs and applications they’ve built at Dolby to push the field forward.
FINOS case studies play a pivotal role in showcasing the measurable business value that open source collaboration delivers across the financial services ecosystem. These stories illustrate how open source not only reduces development costs and vendor lock-in but also drives innovation, resilience, and faster time-to-market.
This architecture allows a relatively simple infrastructure that will expose data at the speed of business. It allows the reading and writing of data without blocking and scales out linearly. Business partners can easily adopt advanced analytics and derive new insights, which promote innovation across disparate workstreams and solidify the decentralized approach to analytics taken by T-Mobile.
Our DL models, developed in PyTorch and deployed on Inferentia, sped up our ads analysis while cutting costs. Starting with our first explorations in DL, programming in PyTorch felt natural. Its user-friendly features helped smooth the course from our early experiments to the deployment of our multimodal ensembles. PyTorch lets us prototype and build models quickly, which is vital as our advertising service evolves and expands.
Hear from Andrej Karpathy on how Tesla is using PyTorch to develop full self-driving capabilities for its vehicles, including AutoPilot and Smart Summon.
Moving services into containers and using Kubernetes as an acquisition platform “helped us to reduce duplication, standardize the way we build and deploy code, and increased our cluster utilization too. Security is now from the ground up. The developers don’t need to worry; by default, everything is secured.”
Releases, which once took as long as 3 to 8 months, now can be achieved in one week. An authority to operate (ATO) for a cloud enclave can be obtained within one week, plus “we have a continuous ATO on the platform stack. Anytime it’s going to pass the gates, the software is automatically accredited. So you can push software multiple times a day.”
In Wix, as part of our sites’ Server-Side-Rendering architecture, we build and maintain the heavily used Server-Side-Rendering-Execution platform (aka SSRE). SSRE is a Node.js based multipurpose code execution platform, that’s used for executing React.js code written by front-end developers all across the company. Most often, these pieces of JS code perform CPU-intensive operations that simulate activities related to site rendering in the browser.
The Neo Financial web banking portal provides seamless mobile-first interactions for users. The backend of the portal is built entirely using JavaScript and Node.js and powers all of the app’s microservices and transaction processing.
