Unfortunately, an overwhelming majority of hiring managers report difficulties in finding talent with complementary open-source skills.<\/p>\n<p>This is good news for those seeking to enter or re-enter the jobs market with an eye towards the future, so long as they\u2019re willing to learn open source solutions.<\/p>\n<p>Hybrid cloud-based technology underpins just about every major business network and, according to the results of the O\u2019Reilly survey, those with open-source skills will eventually be prioritized over those with proprietary dev skills \u2013 if they aren\u2019t already.<\/p>\n<p>Per the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ibm.com\/account\/reg\/us-en\/signup?formid=urx-49207\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">survey<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"8\">\n<p>Modern software architects and developers should remain aware of both trending open source technologies and cloud offerings. Over the long term, a knowledge of the most fundamental open source projects will provide major benefits in job growth and other professional activities.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Other key takeaways, per an IBM <a href=\"https:\/\/developer.ibm.com\/blogs\/oreilly-open-source-skill-survey-blog\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">blog post<\/a>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Open source software (OSS) was rated equal to or better than proprietary software by 94% of respondents.<\/li>\n<li>When choosing cloud providers, 70% of respondents prefer one based on open source.<\/li>\n<li>65% of respondents preferred skills related to the underlying open source technologies (such as Linux, Kubernetes, or Istio), while 36% preferred skills related to a specific cloud platform (i.e. AWS, Azure, or Google).<\/li>\n<li>65% of respondents agree completely that contributions to open source projects impress potential employers and result in better professional opportunities.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Quick take:<\/strong> We spoke to IBM Red Hat Marketplace\u2019s VP of ecosystem and business development Kelly Hartman recently to discuss the quickly shifting enterprise IT landscape. They explained the need for cloud providers and their partners to develop and integrate methods by which enterprises operating hybrid models can utilize both internal and external data sources in an efficient and agile manner. This is where integrated open-source solutions come in.<\/p>\n<p>Hartman explained, for example, that when it comes to something as simple as using publicly available data in a machine learning system, formatting and integration issues can be a huge headache:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"5\">\n<p>The data\u2019s out there. It\u2019s publicly available. We\u2019re bringing it into your applications.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>While Red Hat Marketplace functions as a one-stop resource for IBM partners seeking to further develop their own ecosystem of hybrid cloud solutions, the developer community as a whole seems to agree the path forward is better open-source skills.<\/p>\n<p>You can check out the O\u2019Reilly&nbsp;survey <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ibm.com\/account\/reg\/us-en\/signup?formid=urx-49207\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"c-post-pubDate\"> Published February 9, 2021 \u2014 17:17 UTC <\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/thenextweb.com\/neural\/2021\/02\/09\/devs-need-open-source-skills-new-survey-from-ibm-and-oreilly-indicates\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A recent survey commissioned by IBM and conducted by O\u2019Reilly highlights the need for open source skills in the competitive field of hybrid cloud development.
