In this podcast, Steve Martinelli, Dr. Max, and Emily Mitchell talk about a new Open Source Cloud Guide created to show what open source technology underpins today\u2019s major cloud offerings.They chat about :
\u2043 Why the guide was created
\u2043 Specific topic areas within the guide
\u2043 Ways you can contribute or enhance the guide
An O\u2019Reilly survey that IBM commissioned in late 2020 pointed out that developers who want to build cloud applications should work on honing their open-source skills instead of only focusing on developing skills for a proprietary cloud.The survey highlighted that the most desired of the open-source skills are around Linux (containers), artificial intelligence and machine learning, and data storage.This got us thinking: How do those skills translate exactly to developing for hybrid cloud environments, inclusive of the major cloud providers? What open-source technologies are most used?
The purpose of the Open Source Cloud Guide is to answer those questions.This Open Source Cloud Guide seeks to inform developers about what open source technology is important to contribute to. And, because it\u2019s open sourced itself, you can contribute about the technology that\u2019s included in other clouds. Use and contribute to the Open Source Cloud Guide
