Intel has embraced the open-source community across the broad spectrum of IT; from everyday developers to those working on some of the world’s most scalable, complex systems.

That open source effort extends to hardware and system choice and flexibility with new approaches that make it easier than ever for infrastructure developers and engineers to build best-in-class machines that leverage open tooling. At the heart of these efforts is the Linux Foundation’s Open Programmable Infrastructure Project (OPI) with leading semiconductor and systems makers spearheading the charge.

OPI will push everything from building frameworks to support any hardware, to creating an elaborate and open application ecosystem, to integrating existing open source efforts as well as building new APIs to handle the rush of IPU and DPU-driven functions in the datacenter.

Join Rob Sherwood, NEX Cloud Networking Group CTO at Intel and Situation Publishing’s Nicole Hemsoth for a closer look at Intel’s specific piece of the open-source infrastructure puzzle, the Infrastructure Programmer Developer Kit (IPDK), including what the latest release contains, how customers can make use of it, and what Intel sees ahead for IPUs and the future of the OPI effort.
