Red Hat, Inc. Special Call
Bryan Che
Hello. It's been just over 90 days since we launched OpenShift at the Red Hat Summit. Our goal then and to this day remains really simple: remove all the complexity that developers have to deal with in developing, deploying and managing applications.
Developers should be writing code, not dealing with the complexities of infrastructure, monitoring software, configuration software and application management, and they certainly shouldn't have to become skilled in the art and voodoos of database administration or the varied nuances of each and every infrastructure cloud.
Removing the complexity, we made great progress in that goal. Today, a developer can develop and deploy an application on the OpenShift cloud in under 10 seconds. And if the need arises, the auto scaling built in to OpenShift enables the application to take advantage of the elastic scalability offered by the cloud.
For the last 15 years, Red Hat has been developing the open source infrastructure and middleware that powers most major clouds and tens of thousands of enterprises globally. So building and running the OpenShift service draws right from Red Hat's core strengths of scalable, secure, reliable enterprise architecture, and it's been fun as well.
