ZDNet - Red Hat on its way to becoming the first billion-dollar-a-quarter open-source company
Red Hat is predicting it will make $2.911 billion for its fiscal year. Not bad for a company in a world where people can still say with a straight face they don't understand how open source can make money. Hello. Wake-up alert. Nobody gets fired for buying Linux, open source software, or Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) these days. One noteworthy point in [this quarter's earnings] results, Whitehurst added, is that a great deal of Red Hat's growth is coming because of "our growing number of seven-figure and multi seven-figure transactions." In short, Red Hat Enterprise Linux is becoming increasingly a staple of Enterprise IT.

Red Hat Blog - What's a container platform?
Early DevOps discussions often focused on breaking down the wall between developers and operations. The thinking went that, if developers didn't just toss their new applications over to operations and run away, the world of IT would be a better place. That was how operations viewed the state of affairs in any case. There's certainly truth in that stereotype of standard practice. We can probably all agree that open communication lines and mutual understanding are good things. But eliminating unnecessary communications can be a good practice too.
