Thursday Google announced they'd be including OpenShift Dedicated -- Red Hat's platform for container applications -- in Google's own cloud computing platform. "This service is underpinned by Red Hat Enterprise Linux," says Google's Martin Buhr, "and marries Red Hat's enterprise-grade container application platform with Google's 10 years of operational expertise around containers." Google argues it's part of their commitment to being "the Open Cloud," along with investments in open source tools like Kuernetes, and this is also beneficial to Red Hat. "Until now Red Hat PaaS required the use of Amazon Web Services, the only public cloud large enough to support it," notes one technology reporter. "Now, it can be deployed on Google as well."

Red Hat Courts Developers with Software Giveaways 33 comments

Red Hat, Inc. has announced that it is trialling a price reduction—to nothing—for its software, in an apparent effort to attract developers.

The Raleigh, North Carolina company is offering its Red Hat Enterprise Linux operating system, formerly priced at $99, to those who provide their details at http://developers.redhat.com/. It is also offering its JBoss Middleware and other software at no charge.

When the submitter visited the site, the company was promoting an upcoming video stream showing a "sneak peek of .NET on Red Hat Enterprise Linux."

The story was reported by The Register (via CloudFlare, archived copy here), SD Times , Network World , BetaNews and ZDNet.

      You joke but given the traj(ic)ectory of systemd, the next iteration will be an init system in the cloud because... fuck you! That is why.

        ...init system running on an ansible-fueled unikernel, more like it.

        The pieces are in place. The RedHate Docker purchase is coming. Bet on it.

          Dude, I was joking... but it appears that Ansible and it's "REST API" are real. Just what the world needed, a python based webapp subsuming administrative tasks to the world of point and click cretins. I thought Microsoft already had a "platform", if not an entire ecosystem for that? WTF?

            Yeah, dude, it's bad out there. Who knows where it's all leading?

            Can Microsoft just buy RedHat and get it over with already? Surely they have the cash and the motivation...

              err...maybe I meant "Google" instead of "Microsoft," above.

              On the other hand, who the hell knows these days...

              They normally do something like get someone on the board of directors to do something evil to bring down the stock price first. Perhaps this [linuxfoundation.org] is one of the first steps?
