It’s called the “IKEA Effect.”
In 2012, researchers from the Harvard Business School published the results of a study that showed that the act of building something on one’s own, such as building furniture acquired from an IKEA store, imbued it with value beyond its inherent quality.
This principle applies to more than just sweating over a wobbly table and indecipherable assembly pictures. It’s a way of better understanding the forces that have powered rapid adoption of cloud computing and created the virtualization industry.
Following the entry of virtualization pioneer VMware Inc. 21 years ago, there are now multiple server virtualization providers, including Microsoft Corp. and Red Hat Inc. The technology, which allows users to create cloud resources from a physical hardware system, powers the vast majority of enterprise applications today and represents a certified growth area for information technology, with an estimated doubling in market size by 2023.
Behind that growth is a sizable community of users, developers, and system administrators that has coalesced around the build-it-yourself spirit of an open-source ecosystem and created a communications network that drives continued innovation and learning in the cloud space. It’s an important dynamic, not simply for moving technology forward, but for ensuring a robust and fruitful career path in a fast-paced, ever-changing industry.
“The company you work for does not own your career,” said Phoummala Schmitt, senior cloud operations advocate at Microsoft. “It’s up to you to make that effort to learn a little bit more.”
Schmitt spoke with Stu Miniman, host of theCUBE, SiliconANGLE Media’s mobile livestreaming studio, during the VTUG Summer Slam event in Westbrook, Maine. In separate interviews, Miniman also spoke with Chris and Dawn Harney, president and vice president of VTUG LLC; Matt Broberg, advocate, writer and editor of Opensource.com at Red Hat Inc.; Chris Colotti, principal technologist at Cohesity Inc.; and Sean Thulin, vArchitect at Dell EMC, among others (see the full playlist here). They discussed resources available to professionals interested in learning new career skills, expansion of technical positions in many enterprises, the end of the line for VTUG’s annual event and fears that continued cloud adoption will cause job displacement.
