    Openshift looks so awesome

    but it was just too locked down to be useful at all for what I wanted and the documentation is all over the place, ended up going to Heroku. I'll have to go back to it sometime and see if it's improved

      Re: Red Hat is now

      Either way it's a win-win for Micro$oft, if the partnership is successful they get more fully indemnified Microsoft Linux into the server room, if the partnership fails ;) then Red Hat Linux is taken off the board. When I say if the partnership fails, I of course mean when it fails. ref

    It's misleading to say Red Hat Gluster Storage will be available this summer, or to imply that it's just now competing with Portworx et al. RHGS has been available for years, since before some of those others issued their first press release - let alone wrote their first line of code. It's just the new version that's coming.

    Once it was Microsoft "only" announcements and propaganda

    Is Chris Mellor that concerned because all this innovation and advanced technology announcements, particularly regarding Cloud Computing is from Redhat and not Microsoft, the darling and heroine of many The Register pundits.

    What is so ironic is that a significant amount of Free/Open Source Software (FOSS), including RedHat Enterprise, Ubuntu and Debian Linux, as well as FreeBSD, Apache Hadoop, Spark and other indispensable FOSS is now being closely integrated into most Microsoft technologies, especially Cloud Computing services.

    It was only a short time ago that Steve Ballmer and Bil Gates declared that Linux was Communist, a cancer, that the GPL- under which Linux is licensed is stupid, and that most other innovative FOSS software was crap and could never compete with Windows and rest of Microsoft's portfolio, that the company now "dubiously" embraces.

    A sea change in technology progress.
