Controlling Our Destiny: Building When Open-Source Is No Longer Open-Source

The dev world was on fire this weekend, as news of yet another major open-source project was revealed to be in the midst of an identity crisis. The unsettling trend is clear: hit a certain adoption threshold, and then swap the licensing in an attempt to turn dedicated fans into revenue streams. With more companies searching for a sustainable business model and attempting to appease shareholders, the only certainty we have is, what was free yesterday, might be paid tomorrow.

Air-Gapping Should Be Head-Slappingly Obvious

When you think of air-gapped security, you imagine a protective distancing that separates your sensitive data from those who would steal it. In practice, the separation is a disconnection from the Internet. If no one can get to your data, no one can steal it. However, air-gapped deployments that are completely disconnected from the Internet are not the case in all instances. It’s true that many clusters are fully air-gapped, particularly in classified government installations.
