LinuxCon: All About Clouds

linuxcon-cloudsAlmost every single keynote at LinuxCon, and certainly every private conversation I had with folks here, involved "cloud" in some way. As Red Hat CEO Jim Whitehurst observed in his keynote, there's no single definition of "cloud". There's no doubt that Amazon has really pioneered the default cloud offering, but there's a lot of work going on to build better, more robust, and more open cloud solutions. Red Hat has OpenShift, their Platform as a Service offering, and CloudForms, their Infrastructure as a Service offering. The long-term vision, according to Whitehurst, is that a company's developers would begin building something on OpenShift, and not worry about any of the underlying infrastructure. When that product is ready to be deployed internally, it would go on the customer's CloudForms installation inside the company's firewall. Basically, developers will select the platform and operations can then own and manage that platform.
