The State of the Linux Union: Linux and Business Trends
summary
The talk surveys current trends in enterprise Linux and open-source infrastructure: cloud spending on AWS is claimed to displace traditional IT (each $1 on AWS displaces $3–$4) with AWS at $4B revenue, Unix shipments falling (−24.1%) while Linux grows and 1.5 million Linux smartphones sell daily. It highlights technology movements: OpenDaylight preparing a production SDN controller, AllSeen releasing an IoT stack, OpenStack/CloudStack/Eucalyptus scaling, KVM and Xen challenging VMware, and rapid commercial growth for Hadoop and NoSQL — concluding the industry needs many more open‑source‑savvy lawyers and developers.
