Under the Hood of OpenShift, Turbocharged by Red Hat Enterprise Linux
Ian Pilcher — Senior Solution Architect, Red Hat
Christopher Alfonso — Principal Software Engineer, Red Hat
Daniel Walsh — Senior Principal Software Engineer, Red Hat
Enterprise-class cloud computing must provide effective isolation of workloads to ensure security and performance. In most cloud environments, the virtualization layer is the primary provider of these capabilities; but virtualization has limitations in areas such as granularity, performance, and ISV support.
OpenShift, Red Hat’s Platform as a Service (PaaS) portfolio, makes it possible to run thousands of applications for multiple users on a single virtual machine (or physical server) while ensuring secure separation of compute resources.
In this session, attendees will explore the features of Red Hat Enterprise Linux that enable OpenShift to achieve secure, performant multi-tenancy within a single operating system instance (including: SELinux, cgroups, and Linux container technology (namespaces)).
This session will be of interest to those who want an in-depth understanding of OpenShift and those who need to manage the performance and security of multiple workloads (including virtual machines) on Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
Location: Room 302
Topics: Cloud deployment, Flexibility, Manageability, OpenShift by Red Hat, Performance, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization, Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform, Reliability, Security

Streamline & Accelerate IT Service Delivery with OpenShift Enterprise
Joe Fernandes — Product Marketing Manager, Red Hat
Dan Juengst — Senior Product Marketing Manager, Red Hat
John Keck — Senior Manager, Software Engineering, Red Hat
The increasing demand for new business applications and services has put a strain on development teams and the overall enterprise IT organization. Developers are seeking greater agility and efficiency and putting greater demands on IT leaders to enable them. And those IT leaders are looking to standardize and accelerate developer workflows, improve operational efficiency, and make more efficient use of infrastructure. Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) holds great promise for addressing many of these challenges, but needs to be available in a form that an enterprise can adopt and trust.
In this session, Joe Fernandes, Dan Juengst, and John Keck will explain how PaaS can help address the challenges that are facing enterprise IT teams. They will also demonstrate, using a real customer example, how Red Hat can enable organizations to deploy an enterprise PaaS platform with OpenShift Enterprise.

Liberate your Files: A Solution from Vizuri using ownCloud, OpenShift, & Red Hat Storage Server
Isaac Christoffersen — Architect, Vizuri
Matt Richards — Product Strategist, ownCloud
Ted Brunell — Solution Architect, Red Hat
Many of today’s enterprises are working under the false assumption that there is a trade off between consumer-centric file sharing and corporate IT policy compliance. This assumption is common because market-leading Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solutions for file syncing and sharing are not designed around enterprise IT needs. They represent growing risks with vendor lock-in, data security, compliance, and data ownership.
Fortunately, by leveraging innovative open source solutions from Red Hat and ownCloud, enterprises can provide a simple-to-use file syncing and sharing solution for employees. And this solution enables enterprises to have greater control over valuable intellectual property.
In this session, representatives from Vizuri, ownCloud, and Red Hat will:
- Identify the risks involved with public cloud-based solutions
- Share use cases for private cloud solutions
- Discuss how hybrid and on-premise solutions are both achievable and secure.
Vizuri will demonstrate a hybrid cloud file-sync and share SaaS solution, designed using OpenShift Enterprise by Red Hat, ownCloud, and Red Hat Storage Server, that delivers an integrated mobile, desktop, and web-based solution.

Linux Containers Overview & Roadmap
Bhavna Sarathy — Senior Product Manager, Red Hat
Daniel Walsh — Senior Principal Software Engineer, Red Hat
Linux container technology allows a customer to carve a system out into isolated containers, and run applications securely within the confines of the containers. It facilitates multi-tenancy, which allows IT organizations to take better advantage of the large servers available in their datacenter. While multi-tenancy provides great flexibility for server resource management, especially for service providers, it introduces additional complexity, especially related to the security of applications and data that reside on the same server.
In this session, Bhavna Sarathy and Daniel Walsh will discuss resource management, namespacing, and the use of SELinux to tighten the security of Linux containers. Attendees will learn about the Linux container roadmap for Red Hat Enterprise Linux products and view a demonstration of secure Linux containers.
