Open-source has changed how you run infrastructure
summary
Run a production Siri platform from 0 to 100,000 servers in five years, migrate the whole stack from VMware to containers in nine months, and treat operations as code by applying software development practices end-to-end. Open source is chosen for freedom, innovation, flexibility, integration (FIFI) and interoperability, not cost — support and expertise still cost the same. Apple consumes widely but contributes little back, and abstraction lets developers remain insulated while the infra changes underneath.
