Building a Linux desktop, CERN powered by Ceph, and more industry trends

A weekly look at open source community and industry trends. Person standing in front of a giant computer screen with numbers, data

As part of my role as a senior product marketing manager at an enterprise software company with an open source development model, I publish a regular update about open source community, market, and industry trends for product marketers, managers, and other influencers. Here are five of my and their favorite articles from that update.

Building a Linux desktop for cloud-native development

This post covers the building of my Linux Desktop PC for Cloud Native Development. I'll be covering everything from parts, to peripherals, to CLIs, to SaaS software with as many links and snippets as I can manage. I hope that you enjoy reading about my experience, learn something, and possibly go on to build your own Linux Desktop.

The impact: I hope the irony is not lost on anyone that step 1, when doing cloud-native software development, is to install Linux on a physical computer.

Enabling CERNs particle physics research with open source

Ceph is an open-source software-defined storage platform. While its not often in the spotlight, its working hard behind the scenes, playing a crucial role in enabling ambitious, world-renowned projects such as CERNs particle physics research, Immunity Bios cancer research, The Human Brain Project, MeerKat radio telescope, and more. These ventures are propelling the collective understanding of our planet and the human race beyond imaginable realms, and the outcomes will forever change how we perceive our existence and potential. 

The impact: It is not often that you get to see a straight line drawn between storage and the perception of human existence. Thanks for that, CERN!

2020 cloud predictions

"Serverless" as a concept provides a simplified developer experience that will become a platform feature. More platform-as-a-service providers will incorporate serverless traits into the daily activities developers perform when building cloud-native applications, becoming the default computing paradigm for the cloud.

The impact: All of the trends in the predictions in this post are basically about maturation as ideas like serverless, edge computing, DevOps, and other cloud-adjacent buzz words move from the early adopters into the early majority phase of the adoption curve.

End-of-life announcement for CoreOS Container Linux

As we've previously announced, Fedora CoreOS is the official successor to CoreOS Container Linux. Fedora CoreOS is a new Fedora Edition built specifically for running containerized workloads securely and at scale. It combines the provisioning tools and automatic update model of Container Linux with the packaging technology, OCI support, and SELinux security of Atomic Host. For more on the Fedora CoreOS philosophy, goals, and design, see the announcement of the preview release and the Fedora CoreOS documentation.

The impact: Milestones like this are often bittersweet for both creators and users. The CoreOS team built something that their community loved to use, which is something to be celebrated. Hopefully, that community can find a new home in the wider Fedora ecosystem.

I hope you enjoyed this list and come back next week for more open source community, market, and industry trends.
