    Written by Matt Hicks, senior director, Red Hat OpenShift Engineering

    "Container technology, while not new, has certainly taken on new life in the last year and a half. At Red Hat, we’ve long preached that modern IT is all about the apps, and enabling consistency, interoperability and portability across physical, virtual, public and private clouds. This is why you’ve seen us, over the last 12+ months, talking extensively about our container strategy and unveiling innovations to help accelerate and streamline application development across the open hybrid cloud. In fact, one year ago last week, we were in San Francisco unveiling Red Hat Enterprise Linux Atomic Host and Project Atomic at Red Hat Summit 2014.

    "Much has happened since then. We announced key industry collaborations focused on advancing container technology, debuted Red Hat Enterprise Linux Atomic Host, and introduced the industry’s first certified container ecosystem program to help connect the vast ISV ecosystem to containers and make them consumable for customers."
