Lew Tucker discusses the power of community-developed open source software like OpenStack. He notes that humans' ability to cooperate in large numbers has led to major advances, similar to how OpenStack has grown due to collaboration between companies and developers. OpenStack is now used widely in production environments and enables new types of hybrid cloud architectures through its open development model. Tucker argues open source platforms like OpenStack provide benefits like agility, lower costs, and avoidance of vendor lock-in for both companies and customers.

Editor's Notes
- As we know, OpenStack is open source software that allows anyone to build and operate a public or private cloud. We often talk about the economic advantages of using open source can lower costs and lead to better software, but lately I’ve been thinking that it goes much deeper - creating software and openly sharing it with others is a lot more fundamental part of what makes us human. It’s just the way we are built, and what sets us apart.
- What got me thinking in this direction was a talk I heard given by Yuval Harari studies early humans and writes that the reason man has been so successful, is do to our unique capability to communicate ideas and cooperate at at global scale.
- 2 Million years ago, our early ancestors spread out from Africa to Eurasia. At that time, there were at a handful of different human species, co-existing as small hunter gatherer tribes and although we had tools, primitive languages and a larger brain we were not very remarkable. 200,000 years ago our direct ancestors, Homo Sapiens appeared, But somewhere around 70,000 years ago things really began to change. Wherever Homo Sapiens went, other human species moved towards extinction as we began to dominate the ecosystem. While some scientists debate whether this was due to a change in our brain structure, what was clear was that instead of the environment changing us through natural selection, we started to use our imagination, language, and social organization to evolve at much much faster rate than genetics would have allowed. Instead of our environment changing us through natural selection, we used our imagination, language, and social behaviors to evolve at a much fast rate, taking charge of our destiny.

- We started farming, plant crops for a future harvest, introducing agriculture which support a very much larger population.
- We created the concepts of law, governments, and culture. Things that we forget are not actually real, but are necessary for large societies to exist. Nations, religious beliefs, myths, and exist not in the world, but become very parts of life and form the basis for the creation of our technology and culture.
- This continues today,
- Man is above all an inventor. And our ability to imagine things that don’t exist is an essential part of invention
- With the invention of computers and software, abstractions play a critical role. We talk about services, API’s, Virtual Machines and containers. None of these things really exist but are necessary concepts required for our work. We also then invent ways of working together so that thousands of developers, who might never have had an in-person conversation can work on common projects with rules governing how we accept changes.
- And what could be more abstract than cloud computing. If you’ve ever had to try to explain cloud computing to someone outside technology, I’m sure you know what I mean. Where exactly is the cloud?
- Or how software is now being moved around in containers.
- Software is changing the world, And Open Source is how we share our ideas, creating entire communities around different projects
- No where is this more evident than what we see happenind on Github. With Github, we are now sharing code as never before. Developers today are collaborating like never before, building on each other’s work, and learning at an ever faster rate.
- Most importantly, software and the automation that it brings, can have real impact on the running of data centers. Brining faster agility and lower costs. And Open source plays an important role in de-risking the investment by avoiding vendor lock-in.
- When applied to the operational aspects of running a data center, we can turn the manual configuring of infrastructure into code, automating procedures, reducing error rates and speeds up process changes.
- For Cisco, there are very real, concrete business reasons for Open Source. Customer want open architectures. Customers want open solutions and the ability to draw from the growing ecosystems built around open platforms. So in what follows, I’m simply highlight a few of the areas in Cisco is making investments
- Cisco joined 300 other developers at the Santa Clara Diablo design summit in 2011. In 2012, Cisco, along with many of the other leading IT companies created the OpenStack Foundation to support the developer community and bring us all together with users and operators in events such as this. As Vice-chairman I often talk how the OpenStack foundation is an example of how the IT industry is changing. Customers are demanding open source platforms and the OpenStack community provides a way for us all to come together to build an open platform. I’ve always used this as an example of how companies, some of which fiercely compete in the market can come together to build a platform from which can all benefit. Customers today are asking their vendors to cooperate in this way to create a more efficient market and standardized platforms.
- Open Daylight is a project which serves as a good example of this strategy. As OpenStack was being formed, software defined networking was also taking off. Open Daylight is a community driven open source project to develop an open source software defined networking controller. Like OpenStack individual vendors can leverage this work while adding differentiated capabilities.
- As we have heard from ATT, Red Hat, and others the Telco industry is embracing OpenStack as a foundational platform for virtualizing networking services. OPNFV is an example of customers coming together to build a reference architecture based on OpenStack, OpenDaylight, and other open technologies. In this past year it’s also been remarkable to see the rapid adoption of openStack by the telco industry for virtualized networking services. Cisco, as well as others at this conference are heavily involved and I expect to see tremendous advances made in this area over the next couple of years.
- Recently Cisco also decided to create a new project, FD.io and open sourced a user-space packet processing engine to push the limits of networking performance. Building on Intel’s DPDK, this VPP engine can process millions of packets per sec bringing line rate capabilities or ordinary servers.
- The use of containers and microservices to also prompted Cisco to work with many of these emerging projects to make it easier for developers to develop and maintain their applications on top of open source platforms. Of course, each of these opportunities require developer. Cisco is therefore investing in the tool chain required for micro services building on the services and open source platforms for containers.
- As we have seen on this stage before, companies such as Comcast and others are increasingly moving DVR’s out of the home and into the cloud running OpenStack.
- Finally, in recent months, we’ve seen a real explosion in the number of open source projects and foundations. A few of us on the OpenStack board met with the OPNFV group at a recent meeting of the Linux Foundation Collaborative Projects but it was even more remarkable how many of these 30+ projects were looking for ways of integrating with or leveraging the work we’ve done in the OpenStack community. And as Chris Wright mentioned yesterday, there is a tremendous opportunity for OpenStack stack to work with these other projects creating an even larger open platform for our users.
- So, since we first met here in Austin in 2010, if you want to visually see how the community work, contributing to different projects.
- And we’ve had some fun, not taking ourselves too seriously
- But make no mistake, we are very serious about winning the Enterprise
- And we’ve made great progress. In the latest user survey…
- We are not alone. Multi-cloud world
- We are not alone. Multi-cloud world
- In summary, with open software, open platforms and communities we are using our very human capacity for invention and collaboration to literally change the landscape just as we have done in the past.
