Re: open source, default choice?
My dear - you assumption regarding Government's not being Open (and to Open Source and to the modern world is not correct). Best example is the Belgian Government who have made a choice long time ago to go Open Source first. The Belgian Government Cloud as what they call a Green Shift in which all modern workloads and new applications are built in containers on an RedHat's Openstack - including Openshift, container native storage, JBoss MW... Even for their Database they have taken a drastic shift towards EDB instead of Oracle...
You are right though when stating that this is only the beginning for Open Source and and modern, Cloud native technologies to only gradually starting to replace the traditional ones out there... The future looks very bright for Open Source and for RedHat - IF and only IF IBM doesn't kill this wonderful company...
