- Biography:
Randy Bias is an entrepreneur, writer, speaker and futurist in cloud computing. He accurately predicted the geometric growth rate of AWS, is an advocate for open source technology and was among the first to identify the 30-year shifts from mainframe to client/server to cloud. Randy popularized the pets vs. cattle meme as a construct for describing the fundamental difference between how enterprise stacks and cloud stacks are managed.
Randy is a pioneer and early, vocal advocate for the OpenStack project, and has led teams that achieved numerous cloud firsts, including the first public cloud in Korea, the first global carrier NFV cloud, and the first “cattle cloud” for a Fortune 5 company. As a strategic R&D lead at Dell EMC, Randy led the open sourcing of several products, and today serves as Vice President Technology and Strategy, Open Source Software at Juniper Networks.
Most importantly, Randy was the instigator of the OpenContrail community reboot and led the charge to remove dependency on a single vendor and the transition to the Tungsten Fabric community. He currently sits on the Tungsten Fabric TSC, LFN TAC, the LF Edge Governing Board, and the AECC Governing Board.
