Currently cloud computing is dominated by Amazon's AWS, Microsoft's Azure and Alphabet's Google Cloud.
These three companies are one of the top 5 most valuable companies in the history of the world.
Fighting for market share against them is futile. Or is it?
The only way to disrupt such an oligopoly market is to be innovative. GitLab is trying to do just that, via the open source coding approach it has used for its cloud based, code repository, team collaboration and production software. Which is used by NASA, Goldman Sachs and Siemens among others.
Only by uniting the resources of almost the entire coding community by open source code production GitLab has a chance of changing the current oligopoly state of cloud computing.
Alphabet Inc, the company that owns Google is actually the greatest proponent of open source with its Android mobile operating system, Chromium personal computer operating system and the Kubernetes cluster management system.
It is quite bemusing that the disrupters could end up disrupted with their own weapons.
