In this month's installment of Radio Cloud Native, Bryan Gruneberg, Solutions Architect from amazee.io (now a Mirantis company), walks you through everything you need to know about the Open Web Alliance (OWA) and open source web hosting. He will cover some background in the beginning to set the stage for amazee.io's Lagoon, a fully open source application delivery platform built on top of Kubernetes - as well as amazee.io's tried and true open source website and AI hosting solutions.

Bryan will cover, in detail, the framework laid out in the OWA's Open Web Manifesto, and how organizations can piggy-back on this structure to ensure that their hosting platform is just as open source as their solution. He will also look at the application side of things, exploring how platforms like Drupal, Wordpress, and TYPO3 stack up in comparison to the Open Web Alliance's standards and how you can leverage them in a truly open source, vendor-agnostic way.

A full list of topics for this episode include:

1. Background on amazee.io and Lagoon
2. Background on the Open Web Alliance (OWA)
3. Defining the "Open Web" via the OWA Open Web Manifesto
