FFor small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in creative industries, cloud adoption offers immense opportunities to scale operations, enhance collaboration, and innovate. However, cost concerns often limit their ability to leverage premium cloud solutions. Enter the world of open-source cloud technologies—a niche that combines flexibility, innovation, and affordability.
Why open-source matters
