Live from the Moscone N & W in San Francisco, day two of the Red Hat Summit began with theCUBE, from SiliconANGLE Media team, cohosts Stu Miniman (@stu) and Brian Gracely (@bgracely) setting the stage for the upcoming day.

They began by discussing Red Hat, Inc.’s place in the market. “Red Hat is over $2 billion worth of revenue, they have a strong growth rate in their standard product lines and they have some great emerging product lines,” Miniman said, also noting that the announcements have been all about containers.

Referencing this morning’s keynote, Gracely indicated there were three key points presented. The first was about how Paul Cormier, EVP of Engineering and president of Products and Technologies at Red Hat, said that when everything in technology is changing at the same time, there is no one company that can harness it all. Cormier expressed the need to build on the community for success.

Gracely also observed the amount of time spent of highlighting the breadth of the company’s portfolio. “It’s no longer just Relic, JBoss; it’s containers, it’s platforms, its storage, it’s application developer tools,” he listed.

Products that play together

As for the demonstration portion of the keynote, Gracely thought Red Hat did a great job of showcasing how all these products play together. “They did a nice job of highlighting the when you have this sort of chaos, how you have to deal with it … taking the technology breadth and showing it in action,” he explained.

Miniman and Gracely are looking forward to hearing more about containers, app developers, what buzz words, like cloud-native, mean, and they want some reality checks about what’s important to developers.
