Cloud Foundry’s growth highlights open source success and the cracks in commercial licensing
Open source has crested the hill of enterprise acceptance. There’s no longer the fear, uncertainty and doubt (FUD) that there was around open source a few years ago, plus it’s often a lot easier and cheaper to scale open source than commercially-licensed software.
These conclusions were reinforced at the recent Cloud Foundry Summit Europe in Basel by a debate over whether the existing Cloud Foundry (CF) distribution model was breaking. This debate was somewhat ironic given that one of the announcements during the conference keynotes was the addition of an eighth CF distribution partner, the cloud.gov hosting service. US government agencies will now be able to use a secure CF implementation as their platform-as-a-service (PaaS) for developing and deploying cloud-scale applications.
