CRN - Red Hat CEO Whitehurst On Soaring Stock Success, Open-Source Technologies And Being The 'Last Man Standing' In OpenStack
Red Hat, in many ways, is the last man standing. We said in early days that OpenStack is so deeply tied to the operating system that you need an operating system vendor to be able to deliver that, and I think that's what you're seeing now. We've said that three of four $20-plus million deals this past quarter were OpenStack so we're starting to see some real traction there. We have over 500 customers of material size running OpenStack. However, we're in the trough of disillusionment a little bit. I think the vendors all got on board too early in OpenStack and so people wanted to try to deliver OpenStack out to customers because they didn't want to be late. People were delivering things that just weren't mature enough. And you can't stop that, it's open source. But now you have a [Red Hat] distribution that everyone can certify to. It becomes much easier to put it into production use and so we're seeing a significant uptick now in OpenStack. All these new innovations, big data, microservices, machine learning, they all happen on a Linux platform. Containers are Linux containers. OpenStack is a Linux component. And Red Hat is the leader in that.

Red Hat Blog - Containers are Linux
Ultimately, containers are a feature of Linux. Containers have been a part of the Linux operating system for more than a decade, and go back even further in UNIX. That's why, despite the very recent introduction of Windows containers, the majority of containers we see are in fact Linux containers. That also means that if you're deploying containers, your Linux choices matter a lot. Ultimately, organizations who are adopting containers for their production applications need to know that their containers run reliably. Whether it is questions about security, performance, scalability, or quality in general - the reliability of your containers has a lot to do with the reliability of the Linux distribution it runs on and the vendor that stands behind it. As more and more organizations deploy containers for their own mission-critical applications, they need to ask the same questions of their container platform vendor as they do their Linux vendor. Is this vendor's platform reliable? How secure is it? Will it scale? And ultimately, can I trust it for my most important applications? Your container platform vendor and your Linux vendor are in fact one and the same.

Open Source Stories - Origins: AI and Open Source
Learn how a conversation between two artificial intelligence (AI) researchers about a faulty printer led to the movement that would change how software was developed. Article 2 of Red Hat's ongoing series, AI Revolutionaries, looks back at the history of MIT's AI Lab and chronicles how its hacker ethos served as the foundation for what would become open source.
