They could, you know, make it easier for their employees to work on open source… What they really want is open source talent with inbuilt influence over the projects they are strategically interested in or dependent on.
The headline here is misleading. By "open-source talent" they mean "people who can configure k8s". Which, I GUESS, _TECHNICALLY_ is an "open-source" talent, but man, it's not what people expect that to mean.
