Peter Dens is the managing director of Kangaroot, a company that provides open source consulting, architecture, implementation, and support services. For the past 10 years, open source has focused on replicating what proprietary vendors offer, but scale and cloud computing are driving innovation in open source. Open source is now chosen for its better quality, competitive features, lower costs, and security advantages. Areas of open source innovation include different hardware platforms, Linux as a single OS, KVM as the hypervisor, Docker for portable applications, and automation and cloud platforms.

Docker is an open platform
for developers & sysadmins
to build, ship, and run distributed applications
Apps are quickly assembled from components
No friction between development, QA, and production environments
IT can ship faster
and run the same app, unchanged, on laptops, data center VMs,
and any cloud
