  1. Cloud Native Predictions for 2021 and Beyond
    Jan 19, 2021 · original
    I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday break as the first couple weeks of January 2021 have been pretty wild, from insurrections to new COVID strains. In cloud native land, the CNCF recently released its annual report on all the work we accomplished last year. I recommend everyone take an opportunity to go through the report, we had a solid year given the wild pandemic circumstances. https://twitter.com/CloudNativeFdn/status/1343914259177222145 As part of my job, I have a unique and privileged vantage point of cloud native trends given to all the member companies and developers I work with, so I figured I†d share my thoughts of where things will be going in 2021 and beyond: Cloud Native IDEs As a person who has spent a decent portion of his career working on developer tools inside the Eclipse Foundation, I am nothing but thrilled with the recent progress of the state of the art.

  2. 4 Years at The Linux Foundation
    Jan 3, 2020 · original
    Late last year marked the 4th year anniversary of the formation of the CNCF and me joining The Linux Foundation: … this also marks 4+ years since I joined the @linuxfoundation , after experiencing crazy startup growth/success at Twitter, I was looking for something more NOT startup… was somewhat suckered in by @jzemlin to join a "chill, totally not like a startup" nonprofit… pic.twitter.com/S3f5jmyqoT — Chris Aniszczyk (@cra) December 12, 2019 As we enter 2020, it’s amusing for me to reflect on my decision to join The Linux Foundation a little over 4 years ago when I was looking for something new to focus on. I spent about 5 years at Twitter which felt like an eternity (the average tenure for a silicon valley employee is under 2 years ), focused on open source and enjoyed the startup life of going from a hundred or so engineers to a couple of thousand. I truly enjoyed the ride, it was a
  3. Open Source Gerrymandering
    Oct 8, 2019 · original
    Over the years, I have spent a lot of time thinking about and working on open source communities… from bootstrapping projects out of corporations (or broken communities), to starting brand new open source foundations. "Good governance never depends upon laws, but upon the personal qualities of those who govern… The most important element of government, therefore, is the method of choosing leaders" — Chris Aniszczyk (@cra) August 28, 2019 I was recently having a conversation with an old colleague about bringing an open source project out of a company into the wild and how to setup the project for success. A key part of that discussion involved setting up the governance for the project and what that means. There was also discussion how neutral and open governance under a nonprofit foundation can be good for certain projects as research has shown that neutral foundations can promote growth
  4. KubeCon Shanghai 2019: Cloud Native at China Scale
    Jul 29, 2019 · original
    Last month, we held KubeCon + Cloud NativeCon in Shanghai, one of the largest open source events in China. Recently, we published the conference transparency report detailing how the 3500 person event went but I’d like to share a couple take aways as someone who has been traveling to China quite a bit the last few years. https://twitter.com/CloudNativeFdn/status/1154783210221527040 Cloud Native at China Scale The scale of operating a popular service in China can be wild when you serve a billion users. This forces many of these companies to operate in a cloud native fashion, similar to their internet scale peers in Silicon Valley. I strongly believe we will see more interesting open source technology born in China over the next decade as they deal with scaling issues, similar to how a lot of internet scale open source technology was born from Google and other SV companies that had to supp
  5. Ways your company can support and sustain open source
    Apr 30, 2019 · original
    Note: this article was original posted on https://opensource.com/article/19/4/ways-support-sustain-open-source To make sure open source continues to thrive, we all need to find ways to sustain the communities and projects we depend on The success of open source continues to grow; surveys show that the majority of companies use some form of open source, 99% of enterprises see open source as important , and almost half of developers  are contributing back. It’s important to note that companies aren’t contributing to open source for purely altruistic reasons. Recent research  from Harvard shows that open source-contributing companies capture up to 100% more productive value from open source than companies that do not contribute back. Another research study  concluded countries adopting modern open source practices saw: “a 0.6%–5.4% yearly increase in companies that use OSS, a 9
  6. Troubles with the Open Source Gig Economy and Sustainability Tip Jar
    Mar 25, 2019 · original
    There has been a lot of discussions lately on open source sustainability and honestly, it†s something I think about on a daily basis through my current role at The Linux Foundation and myself being an open source contributor and maintainer for ~20 years. Open Source Tip Jars There has been a trend lately to have open source communities/projects open an electronic tip jar for individuals (or organizations) to give back. While a tip jar can raise some funds, it†s truly not sustainable long term, as outside of it not being an effective way to raise funds for project development, it puts maintainers unfortunately in a gig style economy without health and retirement benefits. There are only a handful of individual maintainers are making money from donations, most tend to abandon the approach over time. Take Patreon as an example, a popular funding platform for all sorts of things includin
  7. First KubeCon CloudNativeCon in China
    Nov 16, 2018 · original
    After a week in Shanghai all I can say is wow, I’m truly humbled by the open source and cloud native community in China that showed up to support our first conference in China . I first want to thank the amazing CNCF events team and most importantly Janet Kuo and Liz Rice who acted as tireless program chairs for this first time event: And it's a wrap! Thank you everyone who attended, spoke at, or worked behind the scenes at #kubecon #cloudnativecon China! pic.twitter.com/F7MhKNxsyv — Liz Rice (@lizrice) November 15, 2018 I’ve had the fortunate/unfortunate experience of traveling to China 6 times in the last 12 months and it’s been an experience learning about the open source community here. Also it’s been hilarious learning all the new tools like WeChat, Didi, Ofo and so on to navigate life in China but I can save that for another time (DiDi jail is the worst). The CNCF has grown from a
  8. Red Hat and IBM: Elephants Can Dance
    Oct 29, 2018 · original
    What an M&A surprise in the tech world yesterday with IBM picking up Red Hat , the jokes on Twitter were of course on point: Nobody got fired for buying Kubernetes — Alexis Richardson (@monadic) October 28, 2018 To expand on Alexis Richardson’s funny joke above, the clouds wars are no joke amongst the hyper scale clouds of the world and the war continues to escalate. Microsoft recently closed its deal with GitHub at $7.5B to only have IBM buy Red Hat for $34B. I can’t wait to see what Google, Oracle and the other large cloud providers pick up in the coming months. I’ve had the privilege to work at both IBM and Red Hat earlier in my career so I’m familiar with the culture of both companies; it’s going to be interesting to see how the acquisition plays out over time. IBM is a gigantic company known for its bureaucracy that has been around for over 100 years and has successfully reinvented
  9. Developer Advocate Wars / Arms Race
    May 15, 2018 · original
    While I†m not a huge fan of arms races, I have a unique perspective amongst open source foundations by having involvement from all the major cloud providers so I have an interesting vantage point in seeing a trend amongst them in ramping up developer advocacy hiring over the last couple of years. Furthermore, this hiring blitz is even more evident for me given the last couple of weeks have been conference crazy in the cloud native space with CloudNativeCon/KubeCon, MSBuild, Google IO and Red Hat Summit happening. So what is happening with developer advocacy and the hyperscale cloud providers? Note: If you aren†t familiar with the term developer advocate, I highly recommend this presentation by Patrick Chanzenon and blog from Ashley McNamara as an introduction to the profession. Google Google historically has been one of the early proponents of developer advocacy/relations and has in
  10. Copenhagen: KubeCon and CloudNativeCon 2018 Takeaways
    May 6, 2018 · original
    What a crazy week helping host our annual European community conference in Copenhagen… it’s been wild to see the community grow since the CNCF took over the stewardship of the conference (thank you Joseph Jacks , still remember those conversations we had in the early days): Somehow the crowd at #KubeCon is simply stunning… pic.twitter.com/MMzXgfSARg — Dirk Hohndel (@_dirkhh) May 2, 2018 I was also just blown away by the amount of CNCF ecosystem related jobs out there: Want to work with Cloud Native tech? #jobsboard #KubeCon pic.twitter.com/6N0rUDmESU — Tracy Miranda (@tracymiranda) May 4, 2018 I have a few hours until I board my flight home so I figure I would share some of my take aways from the event in a series of tweets: CNCF project adoption and the growth of the End User Community The amount of end users I’ve bumped into at the conference was incredible, insurance companies, medica
