How venture capitalists and technologists view the cloud-native technology space is the subject matter for this episode of The New Stack Analysts.

It’s getting to the point that service level agreements pretty much don’t allow access to source code unless it’s open source. To Lightstep Co-Founder Ben Sigelman that pretty much means that open-source code is now part of business and it’s a matter of developing the code into stadard techologies that may be used by all.

Sigleman was joined by RedPoint Venture Capital’s Astasia Myers and Scott Raney who say there is no way to attack the infrastructure layer market unless you have a core belief in the role of open source. RedPoint is a co-author of the cloud native landscape run in conjunction with the Cloud Native Computing Foundation.
