Linux now 'de-facto standard' for running business-critical workloads'
Vojtěch Pavlík, SUSE’s newly appointed general manager of Business-Critical Linux, said on Thursday that it would be difficult to find any hyperscaler who did not offer Linux for the enterprise or one that did not run their own services on Linux.
Pavlik's comments come in the wake of some ructions in open source business circles, with Red Hat announcing a move in June to restrict access to the source code of its enterprise Linux distribution only to paying customers.
In response to this, SUSE chief technology and product officer Dr Thomas Di Giacomo said on Thursday that his company had formed the Open Enterprise Linux Association along with Oracle and CIQ, the last-named being the company that is behind Rocky Linux, an RHEL clone.
