Microsoft needs to be open in the cloud era

According to relevant information reported that in the cloud era, Microsoft is more and more open, but only part of the interface. At Oscon 2011, Gianugo Rabellino, senior director of social open source at Microsoft, said that in the cloud APIs, protocols and standards are open at the surface and users do not have to understand the underlying system's operations. So cloud has no use of open source such as Linux, it becomes unimportant?

Rabellino said he does not mean that openness is not important to the cloud, but whether open source code depends on service agreements and licensing.

He used the two terms surface openness and open core to describe the vague issues surrounding open source and closed source code at the core of the enterprise and the cloud. Open source or open core refers to the open source code of the core functionality or the pattern on which a particular commercial software architecture is for profit. The open way of Microsoft's surface, through API, agreement, and standards, two models can coexist well.

Rebellino pointed out that this is exactly what happened in the cloud, the cloud has changed a lot, the traditional scales no longer exist; which version of facebook you use is not important at all. In the cloud era, the boundaries of these technologies are vague. Sometimes it is not important that you only see the service and can not see the system behind, nor can you tell if he is using JSON or XML data.

Microsoft has released a new Azure SDK for PHP to develop applications for the open source community on Azure, and the company has partnered with four hundred open source programs to ensure interoperability, including the so-called PHP Cloud Sniffer Open source program.

Rebellino said that Microsoft has become quite different, becoming more open and has more cooperation with the open source community.
