IT runs on the cloud, and the cloud runs on Linux. Any questions?
|
||||
===================================================================
|
||||
|
||||
>IT is moving to the cloud. And, what powers the cloud? Linux. When even Microsoft's Azure has embraced Linux, you know things have changed.
|
||||

||||

|

Like it or lump it, the cloud is taking over IT. We've seen [the rise of the cloud over in-house IT][1] for years now. And, what powers the cloud? Linux.
|
||||
|
||||
A recent survey by the [Uptime Institute][2] of 1,000 IT executives found that 50 percent of senior enterprise IT executives expect the [majority of IT workloads to reside off-premise in cloud][3] or colocation sites in the future. Of those surveyed, 23 percent expect the shift to happen next year, and 70 percent expect that shift to occur within the next four years.
|
||||
|
||||
This comes as no surprise. Much as many of us still love our physical servers and racks, it often doesn't make financial sense to run your own data center.
|
||||
|
||||
It's really very simple. Just compare your [capital expense (CAPEX) of running your own hardware versus the operational expenses (OPEX)][4] of using a cloud. Now, that's not to say you want to outsource everything and the kitchen sink, but most of the time and for many of your jobs you'll want to move to the cloud.
|
||||
|
||||
In turn, if you're going to make the best use of the cloud, you need to know Linux.
|
||||
|
||||
[Amazon Web Services][5], [Apache CloudStack][6], [Rackspace][7], [Google Cloud Platform][8], and [OpenStack][9] all run Linux at their hearts. The result? By 2014, [Linux server application deployments had risen to 79 percent][10] of all businesses, while Windows server app deployments had fallen to 36 percent. Linux has only gained more momentum since then.
|
||||
|
||||
Even Microsoft understands this.
|
||||
|
||||
In the past year alone, Azure Chief Technology Officer Mark Russinovich said, Microsoft has gone from [one in four of its Azure virtual machines running Linux][11] to [nearly one in three][12].
|
||||
|
||||
Think about that. Microsoft, which is switching to the [cloud for its main source of revenue][13], is relying on Linux for a third of its cloud business.
|
||||
|
||||
Even now, both those who love Microsoft and those who hate it have trouble getting their minds around the fundamental shift of [Microsoft from a proprietary software company to an open-source][14], cloud-based service business.
|
||||
|
||||
Linux's penetration into the proprietary server room is even deeper than it first appears. For example, [Docker recently announced a public beta of its Windows 10 and Mac OS X releases][15]. So, does that mean [Docker][16] is porting its eponymous container service to Windows 10 and the Mac? Nope.
|
||||
|
||||
On both platforms, Docker runs within a Linux virtual machine. HyperKit on Mac OS and Hyper-V on Windows. Your interface may look like just another Mac or Windows application, but at heart your containers will still be running on Linux.
|
||||
|
||||
So, just as the vast majority of Android phone and Chromebook users have no clue they're running Linux, so too will IT users continue to quietly move to Linux and the cloud.

信息技术运行在云端,而云运行在 Linux 上。有什么问题吗?
|
||||
===================================================================
|
||||
|
||||
>信息技术正在逐渐被迁移到云端. 那又是什么驱动了云呢?答案是 Linux。 当连微软的 Azure 都开始拥抱 Linux 时,你就应该知道这一切都已经改变了。
|
||||

不管你接不接受, 云正在接管信息技术都已成现实。 我们这几年见证了 [ 云在信息技术产业内部的崛起 ][1] 。 那又是什么驱动了云呢? 答案是 Linux 。
|
||||
|
||||
[Uptime Institute][2] 最近对 1000 个 IT 执行部门进行调查并发现了约 50% 左右的高级企业的 IT 执行部门认为在将来 [ 大部分的 IT 工作内容应存储备份在云上 ][3] 或托管网站上。在这个调查中,23% 的人认为这种改变即将发生在明年,有 70% 的人则认为这种情况会在四年内出现。
|
||||
|
||||
这一点都不奇怪。 我们中的许多人仍热衷于我们的物理服务器和机架, 但一般运营一个自己的数据中心并不会产生任何的经济效益。
|
||||
|
||||
这真的非常简单。 只需要对比你 [ 运行在硬件上的个人资本费用 (CAPEX) 和使用云的操作费用 (OPEX)][4]。 但这并不是说你会想把所有的一切都外置,而是说在大部分时间内你会想把你的一些工作内容迁移到云端。
|
||||
|
||||
相应地,如果你想充分地利用云,你就得了解 Linux 。
|
||||
|
||||
[ 亚马逊 web 服务 ][5], [ Apache 的 CloudStack][6], [Rackspace][7], [ 谷歌云平台 ][8] 以及 [ OpenStack ][9] 的核心都是运行在 Linux 上的。那么结果如何?截至到 2014 年, [ 在 Linux 服务器上部署的应用达到所有企业的 79% ][10],而 Windows 服务器上部署的应用则跌到 36%。从那时起, Linux 就获得了更多的发展动力。
|
||||
|
||||
即便是微软自身也明白这一点。
|
||||
|
||||
Azure 的技术主管 Mark Russinovich 曾说,仅仅在过去的几年内微软就从 [ 四分之一的 Azure 虚拟机运行在 Linux 上 ][11] 变为 [ 将近三分之一的 Azure 虚拟机运行在 Linux 上][12].
|
||||
|
||||
试想一下。 微软, 一家正逐渐将 [ 云变为自身财政收入的主要来源 ][13] 的公司,其三分之一的云产业依靠于 Linux 。
|
||||
|
||||
即使是到目前为止, 这些不论喜欢或者不喜欢微软的人都很难想象得到 [ 微软会从一家以专利保护为基础的软件公司转变为一家开源,基于云服务的企业][14] 。
|
||||
|
||||
Linux 对于这些专用服务器机房的渗透甚至比它刚开始的时候更深了。 举个例子, [ Docker 最近发行了其在 Windows 10 和 Mac OS X 上的公测版本 ][15] 。 所以难道这意味着 [Docker][16] 将会把其同名的容器服务移植到 Windows 10 和 Mac 上吗? 并不是的。
|
||||
|
||||
在这两个平台上, Docker 只是运行在一个 Linux 虚拟机内部。 在 Mac OS 上是 HyperKit ,在 Windows 上则是 Hyper-V 。 你的图形界面可能看起来就像另一个 Mac 或 Windows 上的应用, 但在其内部核心的容器仍然是运行在 Linux 上的。
|
||||
|
||||
所以,就像大量的安卓手机和 Chromebook 的用户压根就不知道他们所运行的是 Linux 系统一样。这些信息技术的用户也会随之悄然地迁移到 Linux 和云上。
