It's Dangerous To Go Alone, Take This! Navigating the Overworld of Cloud Native and Open Source
summary
Claims that cloud providers commoditize open source and that Kubernetes replaces EC2 as the compute abstraction drive concrete shifts: Red Hat’s $34B acquisition, multiple open-source companies passing $100M revenue, and Cloud Native Landscape’s trail map for onboarding. Described monetization strategies are clear — paid support, hosted services, defensive licensing — and a dominant move toward open core business models. Assessment includes a 5–10% maturity estimate for cloud native and multi‑cloud as the long‑term norm.
