Why publish an open source project? First, open source can help others develop software faster and promote world innovation, mainly because of social value considerations. Second, open source can force engineers to write better code. Third, open source can more effectively use the power of the community to help enterprises solve problems together. Open source makes the world a better place, doesn't it?
write in front
Google, Amazon, Microsoft, and Alibaba are all the largest Internet companies and big players as cloud vendors. Driven by the joint efforts of these technology companies, the era of cloud computing has truly come to us. Excellent technology companies will not lack their own technical thinking. Some of these thinking are hidden in the cloud, which is difficult for us to see, but many of them will also be condensed into open source software, the achievements of human civilization that can best reflect the innovation of Internet technology, and promote the development of the entire industry. progress.
Let us observe the key open source projects of these companies together to try to explore the future trend of the industry. If the open source project code repository listed below is hosted on the Github platform, this article will also list the Github Star number of the project, which is the best indicator for judging the attention of an open source project.
Google's list of key open source software
Google has been an important driving force for open source software for a long time, and it has also maintained its position as the king of the foreign search engine market by relying on the ecology formed by open source software. Although Google's open source has been rumored to stop supporting ntpd since the end of last year; the new open source homepage is cool but not friendly, and other negative news, but with years of hard work, Google's position in the open source world is still difficult for other companies to shake.
Open source mobile operating system Android
The world's most popular operating system, the market share even surpasses Windows. Much of the success comes from the fact that the Android operating system has adopted an open-source strategy compared to its competitors, enabling handset makers to mass-produce handsets based on the Android operating system.

Open source browser Chromium
Most people have heard of Chrome, the browser owned by Google, but few know about Chromium. In fact, Chromium is the open source version of Chrome, and almost all new browser features will first appear on Chromium and then gradually "decentralize" to Chrome. Due to the open source nature of Chromium, almost all domestic browsers have Chromium's open source code. With the open source of Chromium, Google overturned the dominance of IE in the browser market in one fell swoop.

Microsoft's list of key open source software
微软，老牌软件巨人。历史上长时期被看成开源世界最大的敌对势力， 微软也曾经把开源旗帜项目Linux称呼为“毒瘤”。时光飞逝，转眼十多年过去，原本一出帝国和起义军对立的经典故事在Web和移动互联网两波技术大潮的洗礼下如今已经面目全非。 Linux成了世界上使用最广泛的操作系统，开源技术成了技术发展的主流。 可帝国也没有陨落，传统强项企业服务成功往云端转移，凭借Azure业务又在公有云计算领域获得高速增长。 曾经口中的“毒瘤”，如今成了爱的对象，更是成了核心产品Windows10的组成部分。 如此可见微软对开源的态度发生了多大的变化。
开源IDE Visual Studio Code
集成开发环境(IDE)是微软的一个传统强项，虽然和Windows专属版本比起来仍然有一些不足。 但可以支持从Linux到Mac，Windows的Visual Studio Code仍然由于其轻量可扩展的特性获得了社区的追捧。

.Net 开源核心类库，运行环境和编译器
微软的.Net开发环境和C#语言在编程语言领域一直被认为是功能最为强大和全面的开发平台之一，但长期以来一直只能工作在Windows环境下，极大限制了.Net 在更广大的领域施展身手。随着近年来微软的转型，微软终于下决心对.Net进行了全面的开源。如今.Net的核心类库，运行环境和编译器都已经开源，如今整套.Net环境都可以在Linux，Mac下运行。不知这迟来的开源能否挽回开发者的心呢？
