Clouds Have Evolved. So Have We.
Infrastructure has grown from being strictly in datacenters, to being composed of an evolving mix of bare metal, VMs, and containers, and now the edge. More technology is needed to meet all of thees new and diverse use cases. This is why we exist.
We Build Communities Who Write Software That Runs In Production
We do this by bringing together developers, operators, and organizations in an open way, guided by a set of principles we call the Four Opens (open source, design, development, community). All of our projects have a strategic focus, vision & scope that supports the development and adoption of production infrastructure with open source components.
We can help with your open source project. Our model and project services provides the tooling, guidance, and collaborative environment that allows communities to focus their attention on the important work of building and operating software that solves real problems around the globe.
