​Red Hat still plans on being The OpenStack company

Of course, you think of #RedHat as being The #Linux company. Everyone does. But, if Red Hat has its way, you'll think of them as The cloud company. Red Hat is showing once more its intention to be the king of the #OpenStack hill with its release of Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOP) 9.

This is a highly scalable, open-source Infrastructure-as-a-Service ( #IaaS ) platform. It's designed to deploy, scale, and manage private cloud, public cloud, and Network Functions Virtualization ( #NFV ) environments. It's based on the OpenStack community "Mitaka" release. The focus of this release was to make the notoriously hard-to-install OpenStack easier to deploy.

RHOP 9 is based on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 7.2. This version of Red Hat's flagship operating system was designed to make it more cloud and container friendly than ever. RHOP also features Red Hat Ceph Storage 2 for software-defined storage and Red Hat CloudForms for cloud management and monitoring.

With Red Hat Ceph, RHOP 9 can handle 64TBs of free object and block storage for customers evaluating a robust, scale-out cloud storage solution.

CloudForms provides inherent discovery, monitoring, and deep inspection of OpenStack resources. This enables you to make policy-based operational and life-cycle management decisions over all its infrastructure components, and virtualized workloads. Red Hat didn't address how this will fit in with its recent purchase of Ansible, the popular DevOps tool.
