  • Summary

  • Issac Roth, John Poelstra, and Scott Crenshaw discuss how OpenShift managed to take Red Hat from acute anxiety to developer groundswell and dominance in the coming cloud.

    Topics discussed:

    • The business environment that allowed for Red Hat to consider acquiring OpenShift. (“Red Had suffered from acute anxiety about being disintermediated and losing its business model.”)
    • All the things had to go right for OpenShift to become a success. (“The path looks linear in retrospect, but it never is in practice.”) 
    • Launching containerized apps. (“No one wanted to use the word ‘containers.’”)
    • Pushing innovation and experimentation inside a bigger company.
    • Building a go-to-market machine.
    • Embracing a competitor (Docker).
    • Creating a developer groundswell through inclusion.
    •  The vegetable oil-spewing Franken-car.
