MOS-P2: Exploring the vast and growing Microsoft Open Source - Part 2
With this second from the series of articles on the Microsoft Open Source » We continue our exploration of the vast and growing catalog of open apps developed by the Technological Giant de «Microsoft ».
In order to continue expanding our knowledge of the open applications released by each of the Technological Giants of the group known as GAFAM. What, as many already know, is made up of the following North American companies: "Google, Apple, Facebook, Amazon and Microsoft".
GAFAM Open Source: Technological Giants in favor of Open Source
For those interested in exploring our initial publication related to the topic, you can click on the following link, after finishing reading this publication:
“Today, both public and private organizations are progressively moving towards a greater integration of Free Software and Open Source to their business models, platforms, products and services. That is to say, free and open technologies are increasingly an important part of the way of working in and out of them, for the benefit of their owners, clients or citizens.

Applications of the Microsoft Open Source
Before starting, it is worth highlighting the official website of Microsoft Open Source (MOS) your own self-description:
"An open, flexible, and collaborative site where open source enables Microsoft products and services to bring choice, technology, and community to third parties."
Furthermore, the Microsoft Open Source can be explored directly through the following link to their Available projects.
From "Microsoft Open Source" These are the following Apps on the list that you have to continue exploring:
Bond
Briefly, on the website of the "Microsoft Open Source" describe this application as follows:
"Bond is a cross-platform, open source framework for working with schematized data."
While his official website on GitHub add the following on top of it, as follows:
“In addition, Bond supports cross-language de / serialization and offers powerful generic mechanisms for efficient data manipulation. Bond is widely used at Microsoft in large-scale services. "
“On Linux, Bond must be built with the C ++ 11 compiler. Also with Clang (3.8) and GNU C ++ (5.4). However, Clang is recommended as it is faster with heavy template code like Bond. "
Note: More detailed and useful information can be found directly on the following link.
CCF
Briefly, on the website of the "Microsoft Open Source" describe this application as follows:
"CCF (Confidential Consortium Framework) is a framework for building blockchain and multi-party applications that are secure, with high availability and performance."
While his official website on GitHub add the following on top of it, as follows:
“CCF (Confidential Consortium Framework) is an open source framework created to build a new category of secure, high-availability, and high-performance applications that focus on multi-party computing and data. CCF can enable large-scale, confidential networks that meet key business requirements, providing a means to accelerate production and enterprise adoption of consortium-based blockchain and multi-party computing technology. Leveraging the power of Trusted Execution Environments (TEEs), decentralized systems concepts, and cryptography, CCF enables blockchain-ready or multi-party computing for any enterprise. "
Note: More detailed and useful information can be found directly on the following link.
CNAB
Briefly, on the website of the "Microsoft Open Source" describe this application as follows:
"CNAB is a specification for packaging distributed applications."
While his Official website add the following on top of it, as follows:
“CNABs facilitate the grouping, installation and management of native container applications and their associated services. Also, it can be composed to use whatever infrastructure or service you need, as there is no vendor lock-in. They can also be used to easily distribute applications across teams, organizations, and markets, even shared offline. And lastly, a CNAB can be cryptographically signed, witnessed, and verified to ensure a reliable source. "
