best open source talent. Microsoft is now home
to some of the founders and top developers of
open source technologies including:
Brendan Burns: Burns was a co-founder of Kubernetes, and
is now an architect at Microsoft, leading the team
contributing to upstream Kubernetes.
Gabe Monroy: Monroy created Deis, and is now lead
program manager on containers at Microsoft.
John Howard: Howard is software engineer with Azure and
top contributor to Docker over past 12 months.
Anders Hejlsberg: Creator of C# and Turbo Pascal, Hejlsberg
is a technical fellow leading the development of Typescript.
Erich Gamma: A distinguished engineer who is one of the
fathers of the Eclipse project and “Gang-of-Four” authors of
software engineering textbook, “Design Patterns: Elements
of Reusable Object-Oriented Software,” Gamma is leading
the team on Visual Studio Code.
Ross Gardler: Former president of the Apache Software
Foundation, Gardler is now a program manager working on
Azure Container Service and Open Source.
Maggie Pint: Pint is a software engineer lead for in Azure
Site Reliability Engineering (SRE) and maintainer of a popular
open source library called Moment.js, and a delegate of the
JavaScript Foundation to TC39.
[Microsoft] has the largest number of the top 500 open source projects for any one entity,
according to a compilation from the Cloud Native Computing Foundation. Microsoft has 24
projects, way ahead of Google and Pivotal (each having seven) and Red Hat, which has six.
In 2012, Microsoft became the largest contributor to the Linux kernel.
On the Azure side, Microsoft is working with all major commercial Linux vendors — including
Red Hat, SUSE, Canonical, CoreOS, etc. — and other communities to ensure that customers
can run their preferred Linux workloads on Azure.
Microsoft has over 15,000 contributors on GitHub … over 6,000 employees contribute to
open source projects, and have released over 3,000 open source projects.
Some of the open source technologies Microsoft uses and maintains internally:
• Kafka: LinkedIn and Bing are two of the biggest users of Kafka.
• Linux: About one in three VMs on Azure are running Linux.
• LightGBM and the Microsoft Cognitive Toolkit (CNTK) machine learning frameworks.
• Linux-based Hadoop and Spark services on Azure.
• Postgres and MySQL managed services on Azure.
• Azure Functions, an open source serverless Functions-as-a-service.
