IBM TO ACQUIRE RED HAT

An Open Memo to IBM: With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility - NGINX

I’ve seen a lot of people venting on social media and, to be honest, I get it. Acquiring Red Hat comes with a tremendous amount of responsibility. But it’s also a brilliant move by IBM. I’ll elaborate on that in a bit, as well as why I think it’s a net‑positive for NGINX, but first I need to back up a bit.

You’re probably wondering why I have a viewpoint on this acquisition. Well, I feel I have a unique perspective that qualifies me to comment. I worked for IBM early in my career and was part of the Lexmark spinout. I worked for Red Hat for 10 years, which, assuming the deal closes, will be spun in to IBM. And I’ve spent the last six years working for another open source company that closely partners with both Red Hat and IBM. That’s over two decades of perspective.

As of today: IBM Closes Acquisition of Red Hat.
I am very curious what is going to happen to CentOS.

Indeed - though pretty sure their commercial direction will be for cloud based technologies and related innovations
