Open source plays an integral role in today’s world, yet organizations’ decisions to make license changes continue to raise concerns in the community with fears that we are moving away from the initial fundamental values. The Linux Foundation recently announced that it will host Valkey, an open source alternative to the Redis in-memory, NoSQL data store. Valkey is backed by AWS, Google Cloud, Oracle, Ericsson and Snap. In this video recorded at the Open Source Summit North America 2024 in Seattle, David Nalley, Director of Open Source Strategy and Marketing at Amazon Web Services (AWS), discusses the transition of Redis to Valkey at the Linux Foundation. He also talks about AWS’ involvement in open source and why it plays such a crucial role for the company. He says, “At the end of the day, open source is about collaboratively solving problems and not having to reinvent the wheel every time we need to accomplish something.” #cloudcomputing #opensource #cloudcomputing #aws
