From Open Model to Global Infrastructure: The Role of Open Source in Cloud with Justin Erenkrantz

Modern cloud platforms like AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure power the global digital economy.
But behind these massive infrastructures lies a surprising truth: open source software built by communities of developers is the foundation of today’s most profitable cloud services.

In this episode of CODE&CLOUD, Rauno De Pasquale (CTO at Newesis) talks with Justin Erenkrantz, former President of the Apache Software Foundation and veteran contributor to open source projects like Apache HTTP Server and Subversion.

Together, they explore:

How open source shaped the birth of cloud computing
The rise of cloud-native open source tools like Kubernetes, Redis, Kafka, and Terraform
The love-hate relationship between cloud vendors and open source communities
Ethical questions around cloud providers profiting from open source projects
Lessons from real-world cases like Redis vs. Valkey forks
The next frontier: AI and open source, and what’s at stake for the future of innovation

If you’ve ever wondered how community-driven innovation scales to global cloud infrastructure, this episode will give you the insights to understand the past, present, and future of the cloud.
