    Red Hat Developer Newsletter - July 2014

    Welcome to the Red Hat® Developer Newsletter.

    Can you believe the year is half-over already? Time flies when you're having fun. ;) We're certainly having fun at Red Hat and hope you are, too. Last month Red Hat Enterprise Linux® 7 became generally available, and there's definitely a lot of wonderful buzz about it that contributes to that fun.

     



    RHEL_7_3x3_sticker_12236947_0514MM_preview

    Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 offers customers agility and flexibility to meet new requirements head-on without increasing complexity—from rapidly delivering new applications via secure, lightweight containers, to scaling infrastructure, to meeting big data requirements with new and enhanced file systems. Key Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 features to address future IT needs include:

    • Enhanced application development, delivery, portability, and isolation through Linux containers—including Docker—across physical, virtual, and cloud deployments and development, test and production environments.
    • Significant file system improvements, including XFS as the default file system, scaling to 500 TB.
    • Cross-realm trust to easily enable secure access for Microsoft Active Directory users across Microsoft Windows and Red Hat Enterprise Linux domains, providing the flexibility for Red Hat Enterprise Linux to co-exist within heterogeneous datacenters.
    • Powerful and secure application runtimes and development, delivery, and troubleshooting tools integrated into the platform and container-ready.

    Featured Article - July 2014

    Red Hat Enterprise Linux7 is for developers by Mike Guerette, Red Hat

    Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 is now GA, and so it’s time to write some code and/or port your applications to it. So let’s take a quick inventory of development tools, shall we?

    With Red Hat Enterprise Linux, there are 2 primary sets of toolchains for you to use. First, there are base Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 tools (like Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6) that will be supported with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 for 10 years (more below). Second, there are complementary tools in Red Hat Software Collections and Red Hat Developer Toolset that are updated fairly frequently (to keep up with the upstream) and are supported for 2-3 years, with major releases every 12-18 months.

    Which to use, you ask? (Thank you for asking.) As a general rule, if you need your tools supported for 10 years, use the base Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 tools. If you think you’ll want to a) update to newer versions of your tools at some point, b) want updated features, and/or c) want versions compatible with OpenShift cartridges, then go with Red Hat Software Collections.

    How to bring DevOps to your enterprise with PaaS by Diane Mueller, Red Hat

    Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) enables your organization to embrace the DevOps approach to application life cycle management. The agility that PaaS brings to enterprise clouds enables developers to rapidly iterate on ideas, test them out, scale, fail, and pivot. The more ideas you can test, the more lessons learned. Hopefully, each new foray germinates into “good ideas” and successful initiatives. Read more.
