It’s a heterogeneous, hybrid Cloud world, according to Tim Yeaton, SVP, Infrastructure Business Group at Red Hat, Inc.

“It’s more than just the stateless workloads, it’s how you bring it all together,” Yeaton told theCUBE, SiliconANGLE Media’s production team, at OpenStack Summit Vancouver 2015. Yeaton sees Red Hat’s OpenShift as “the culmination of all the things we’re doing to help people modernize current applications and have them live in a Cloud-native environment.”

Yeaton added, “You get a continuity whether you’re deploying PaaS style with OpenShift or IaaS style with OpenStack. Now we have OpenStack as a way to scale out your OpenShift environments on-prem.”

The benefits of micro services

Yeaton described how Red Hat and Cisco Systems, Inc. share a common vision for the evolution of the Cloud as open and hybrid. “In the end, we are going to see these dense fabrics of hybrid Clouds be public and private, and we’ve geared our whole product strategy, both directly and with Cisco, to ultimately respond to that.”

Yeaton also discussed micro services, defining them as “an assembly of multiple-containers in an app” with the benefits of eliminating re-invention and providing greater re-use and supportability.
