What does it mean when you say a cloud-native service is open sourced?
2 comments

Cloud-Native refers to running software by utilizing the services offered by cloud service providers (like AWS), versus running it on physical/virtual servers that must be managed. This application is also open-source and available on Github as a free application.
It means that the code hosted on a cloud server is available for inspection.
And presumably for you to run in public cloud environment you are renting yourself or a private cloud you are running yourself.
Exactly. Kubernetes could be considered "cloud-native" because it can be deployed on either public/private clouds
