InfoWorld editors and contributors pick the top open source software for datacenters, clouds, developers, big data analysts, and IT pros
Does anyone even try to sell closed-source software anymore? It must be hard, when so many of the tools used to power the world’s largest datacenters and build the likes of Google, Facebook, and LinkedIn have been planted on GitHub for everyone to use. Even Google’s magic sauce, the software that knows what you will read or buy before you read or buy it, is now freely available to any ambitious developer with dreams of a smarter application.
[ InfoWorld presents the Bossies 2016: The best open source applications. | The best open source networking and security software. | The best open source datacenter and cloud software. | The best open source application development tools. | The best open source big data tools. | Stay up on open source with the InfoWorld Linux report. ]
Google didn’t used to share its source code with the rest of us. It used to share research papers, then leave it to others to come up with the code. Perhaps Google regrets letting Yahoo steal its thunder with Hadoop. Whatever the reason, Google is clearly in the thick of open source now, having launched its own projects -- TensorFlow and Kubernetes -- that are taking the world by storm.
Of course, TensorFlow is the machine learning magic sauce noted above, and Kubernetes the orchestration tool that is fast becoming the leading choice for managing containerized applications. You can read all about TensorFlow and Kubernetes, along with dozens of other excellent open source projects, in this year’s Best of Open Source Awards, aka the Bossies. In all, our 2016 Bossies cover 72 winners in five categories:
Bossie Awards 2016: The best open source applications
Bossie Awards 2016: The best open source application development tools
Bossie Awards 2016: The best open source big data tools
Bossie Awards 2016: The best open source datacenter and cloud software
Bossie Awards 2016: The best open source networking and security software
The software tumbling out of Google and other cloudy skies marks a huge shift in the open source landscape and an even bigger shift in the nature of the tools that businesses use to build and run their applications. Just as Hadoop reinvented data analytics by distributing the work across a cluster of machines, projects such as Docker and Kubernetes (and Mesos and Consul and Habitat and CoreOS) are reinventing the application “stack” and bringing the power and efficiencies of distributed computing to the rest of the datacenter.
This new world of containers, microservices, and distributed systems brings plenty of challenges too. How do you handle monitoring, logging, networking, and security in an environment with thousands of moving parts, where services come and go? Naturally, many open source projects are already working to answer these questions. You’ll find a number of them among our Bossie winners.
