Linux Spring is coming: open source and cloud services are catalysts

Some say the Linux PC system is fading for two reasons: 1. Things have changed too quickly, even for Open-source and proprietary software. 2. Linux releases are not compatible (for example, you developed a top 3 software, 6 months later you will find that the new version is no longer supporting your software), hitting the http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/11839.html " > The enthusiasm of third-party developers.

Jim Zemlin,linux, the executive director of the Foundation, points out that everything is becoming a service that is moving to the forefront of the enterprise and is based on open Source services.

So if you are ready to master the software, you first have to master open source, Google, IBM and Intel are starting to invest in open source, and other unexpected companies are also investing in open source.

Zemlin said Apple, known as the world's most closed company, actually uses open source and software in many places, and the licensing information on Apple's iphone is a good example. And Apple has hundreds of billions of dollars in cash to buy HP, Intel, Dell, but Apple did not, it just bought the general UNIX print System (CUPS), now used on every Linux and Apple system.

The company that uses Linux not only includes Apple, Microsoft is now the top contributor to the Linux kernel project, and VMware is becoming more and more clear about its acquisition of Nicira, a super contributor to an open system that opens up the cloud to build its own infrastructure. This week VMware submitted an application to OpenStack.

The future of it lies in software, more and more people will be forced to recognize this, when the various innovations from engineers will help build an open cloud environment, operating in a cloud environment is not easy, and how to put those fragmented clouds into a cloud alliance is the real problem.
