Red Hat in container lead; making money, analysts say | #RHSummit

Perhaps the most surprising event of Day Two at Red Hat Summit 2016 was a live wedding, which was hosted during one of the conference keynotes. Stu Miniman (@stu) and Brian Gracely (@bgracely), cohosts of theCUBE, from the SiliconANGLE Media team, said neither had seen such an event at a tech conference. Miniman thought it spoke to both the couple’s dedication to each other and to the tech industry.

In addition to witnessing spontaneous nupitals, theCUBE cohosts interviewed Red Hat Innovation award winners from Bombay Stock Exchange, Ltd. and Amadeus Data Processing GmbH. Both organizations are running open source and containers as mission critical, Gracely observed. Amadeus is utilizing OpenShift, and Miniman stated the “emerging tech is stablizing.”

Miniman also said, “Today, all containers are Linux.” And Gracely commented that Red Hat, Inc. is “in the lead” when it comes to containers.

Bold demos from Red Hat

Red Hat has put on “bold tech demonstrations” during Day Two, declared Gracely. One of the Red Hat security team members quipped that they are at “Schrödinger’s container: It is alive or is it dead?” recalled Miniman.

Gracely remarked that Red Hat is one of the only companies operating purely on open source and making money. While AWS may be serving companies that are looking to get out of the IT business, Red Hat is offering a more blended story that allows for still owning technologies.

For Day Three of Red Hat Summit, look for Microsoft news and much more.
