Cloud / Containerization / Virtualization Technologies

 This is a bit of a research brain dump regarding a number of technologies and/or projects that are often encountered when looking into cloud/container/virtualization technologies.  

I've condensed this portion to a diagram which is still a work-in-progress.  It tries to organize some common items into "buckets" and tries to hint at some of the relationships between items. As time passes, the differentiation between buckets get cloudy.  Some projects / technologies end up sharing, reworking or supporting other projects in ways that make it hard to distinguish meaningful differences. Other projects start off with lots of excitement and then seem to fade quickly.   



I'm working on another diagram that tries to cover network items deeper along with some security and storage items.  Those are usually not cloud / container / virtualization specific so it made more sense to work on those separately.  That diagram is very messy still - I'll create a new post for it "soonish" with the note that it is very much a work-in-progress.  I'll add a link to it from here though.  

This is all public information from various public projects, tech company public sites, tech "news and information" sites, etc.  There is still a significant amount of change going on and it will be interesting to see what truly new and innovative ideas appear.  


[Edit 2021/01/28] Here is my initial post for network / storage / security focused items:
