Two points make a line, and this year we are back with a continuation of the industry-leading open source funding program we put in place last year.

Think open source – the world’s leading software portfolio. Open-source software enables you to build fully functional virtualisation and cloud infrastructure while ensuring total cost of ownership (TCO) reduction and business continuity. In this blog, we will walk you through the open source ecosystem. We will help you understand how it differs from other VMware alternatives by answering five common questions.

It makes community growth a strategic objective and puts Kubeflow on a development fast track.
