Open Source Innovation – Success Through Failure
summary
Claims that open source succeeds by massive, iterative experimentation where most projects fail but a few become widely adopted. Runs dozens of independent projects (many start, few succeed), with notable successors k3s and longhorn that joined CNCF and gained features: containerd and SELinux integrations, embedded etcd for scaling, longhorn adds ARM64 support, self‑healing and read‑write‑many via an NFS layer. Current experiments include harvester, hipper and kube warden for policy, storage and dependency management.
