The last keynote was all about openness. Sam Ranji opened the keynote with the word of this is the day for developers. Followed by Sarah Novotny, Program Manager of Kubernetes really making a point of how Kubernetes has evolved since it went open source. Jim Zemlin stated that “all of us are smarter than any of us” as the core benefit of open source.

That statement really got emphasised by Vint Cerf, presenting how TCP and TLS has evolved and how the openness is tightly built in the Internet as it is today. From their first committee to the public open source code of every website today.

Innovation by collaboration is really in core of Google and something they prove over and over again. Referring to our own experience, where we are contributing and discussing tightly with the developers of Spinnaker, Kubernetes and webRTC. And along the openness, Internet is made for everyone, but not yet accessible to anyone. That’s what we are aiming for. The Internet as it is built today is not very scalable, there are obviously million positive things with the internet but it has limitations in its infrastructure today, as our CEO Anna Ottosson stated on stage today.

Greta.io is dedicated to helping users increase site performance via an innovative approach to content delivery. We use machine learning to make content routing decisions in the client based on real-time network data. For every piece of content, Greta automatically decides if the content should be delivered over multi-CDN, peer-to-peer, client cache or an overlay network. As a result, customers experience shorter content load times, higher content quality and server offload during peak traffic.
