The StarlingX community had a strong year in spite of the unprecedented global challenges in 2020. During the first half of 2020, the OpenInfra Foundation Board of Directors confirmed the project as top-level Open Infrastructure project. StarlingX 4.0 was released in August 2020. The platform is architected as a fusion between OpenStack and Kubernetes to create a robust and flexible environment for edge workloads, let them be bare metal, containerized, or virtualized. In the 4.0 release, the majority of the infrastructure services are containerized to ensure easier and more flexible management and operation. The community has also continued to have increased focus on security related functionality during the release cycles in 2020. Last year, the StarlingX community continued to present its strategic relevance, well-defined governance procedures, commitment to technical best practices and open collaboration, and, most importantly, an actively engaged ecosystem of developers and users. The project continues to cultivate a global, engaged and growing community as evidenced by the 2020 stats: the project had 2,237 changes committed by 111 authors from 7 organizations during the year. Thank you to everyone in the StarlingX community for all of the work that went into 2020 and is continuing in 2021 to contribute and support the community.
