Red Hat in The Cloud Max Rydahl Andersen Senior Principal Software Engineer Red Hat, Inc. 18 th October 2011 1 Monday, October 24, 11 Red Hat is doing many things in the cloud. You can use and subscribe to Amazon Images containing Red Hat Linux for your own servers in the cloud, Red Hat is also the basis of already existing cloud providers out there thus Red Hat have been in the cloud for a while as part of the infrastructure. But Today i m going to talk about...
Re 2 Monday, October 24, 11...how Red Hat is developing a..

...Developers. before going deeper on this lets look at how many tasks a developer or a team of developers using Open source components actually can have in front of them. 4
Opensource have helped make a lot of things possible for both small and large applications. Open source, Linux and JBoss is incredibly powerful, but there are tons of stuff on the plate for developers and sysadmins in an IT Shop. Such as ^^^ 5
Luckily Red Hat helps on this already today. We take control of maintaining a critical base around open source and take a lot off everyone's plate. However, at the same time, IT shops were growing and scaling. There is still a lot of work left to do for the IT shops. 6
With PaaS, companies like Red Hat are able to take on a whole lot more. Utilizing technologies like IaaS, we can offload the majority of the foundational work. A few more items are shared, but agility is brought back. Less things to worry about. 7
..the intent is that we get the focus back on making developers as productive as possible. Therefore... 8
Re 9 Monday, October 24, 11...Red Hat is developing a...

...that focus on Developers and... 11
..it is called OpenShift. 12
...OpenShift is available from openshift.com and there are three flavors available. Express, Flex and Power. Each provide a PaaS at different levels and it gives less control on the let, and more control on the right. Today I m going to focus on the Express part and one of its primary design tenants. 13
Making it frictionless to use. Friction less for us means that it should not require a lot of configuration to get started nor use in day to day work. We also do what we can to base express on standard and defacto standard tools giving both ease-of-use and something users recognize. 14
OpenShift Setup 1. Sign up at http://openshift.com 2. Install Command line or JBoss Tools 3.3 M4 3. Create OpenShift Application 4. git clone 15 Monday, October 24, 11 Let s start by looking at how you setup OpenShift - you sign up at OpenShift.com through a normal registration process - you follow the instructions up there and either install command line or JBoss tools. From there you create an OpenShift application, we give you a git repo to clone and start your work on.
OpenShift Usage 1. Write code 2. git commit 3. git push 4. Goto #1 http://openshift.com 16 Monday, October 24, 11 Once you have this the workflow for OpenShift is as simple as Write Code, commit and push - go back to writing code And to make this less abstract then let me just show you how simple it actually is.
To recap, Red Hat has created a Platform as a service that is called OpenShift - this service allow you to get started easily and use standard tools like Git, Maven, JBoss, PHP, Ruby, and more. You just develop - Red Hat takes care of the rest. That is what I got to show you about OpenShift today.. 17
