Announcing the second Cloud Native Heroes Challenge

We’re excited to launch another Cloud Native Heroes Challenge contest in which you can earn swag, a ticket to attend KubeCon+CloudNativeCon, and/or a US $3,000 cash prize by helping defend our ecosystem from patent trolls. We’re seeking information to invalidate Claim 1 of US Patent 11,178,104, asserted by patent troll Croga Innovations. This patent describes a host computer system designed to enhance network security. The primary goal is to securely access Internet-based cloud services through authenticated and firewalled isolation. 

This patent potentially impacts all container technology and numerous open source projects including Kubernetes, containerd, Docker, Flatcar, and more.
