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...

...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.

5


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 ^^^

6


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.

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.

..the intent is that we get the focus back on making developers as productive as possible. Therefore...

...that focus on Developers and...

..it is called OpenShift.

13


...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.

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.

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


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

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.

17


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..
