Open Source is changing the game
Infrastructure Virtualization
Compute, Storage, Network resource pool
Microservices + Containerization
App centric, universal app container
Blurry of IaaS and PaaS
Transparent Infrastructure, multicloud
Server Virtualization
• Big Company Driven, Top Down
• Led by foundation projects
• Few big projects
• Just follow the herd
• Developer Centric, Bottom Up
• Led by open source startups
• Hundreds of small projects
• Need more proactive approach,
domain specific integration
PaaS
NFV Apps 、 Web Apps
Orchestration and Management

“Containers are revolutionizing the way we manage cloud
infrastructure and warrant a common format and
collaborative development approach to that work,”, said
Dr. ChengLu Wang, the president of Central Software
Institute in Huawei, “We see the forming of the Open
Container Project a very good move for unifying forces in
this area. The standardization and open governance
nature of this initiative will help to attract more talents and
organizations to participate, which will in turn stimulate
innovations in various layers, while still keeping the core
to stay consolidated.“

Phase based objective management.
Get in as earlier as possible.
•Often starts at the engineer level with
bug fixes and minor features.
•Then progresses to larger contributions
of non-competitive technology.
Some Tips about How we
Develop an Open Source
Strategy

21.
 Using and contributing to open source isn’t free
 If you’re the big player in a market segment, being the
major open source contributor for technology in that
segment is beneficial to your brand.
 If you’re using and modifying a technology stack, you will
likely need changes upstream that help your product.
 Embrace the open source way
- Meritocracy, transparency, collaboration, diversity,
process.
 Evangelize and communicate
