PaaS

Coming off the heels of a 2-day session on Solum at Rackspace's SF offices, where parties interested in Solum, the OpenStack-related initiative for application lifecycle management that leverages both Heat & Docker - Red Hat OpenShift Team members who attended (Clayton Coleman, Chris Alfonso & Krishna Raman) bring us up to speed on the project & Red Hat's involvement.

Demos of new Admin Console and a conversation about UX & UI design on the OpenShift project with the

OpenShift Origin Community Hangout: Theming the Console with Steve Goodwin and a discussion about building custom "App Stores" with Ryan J & Corey Daley

The OO-Index project needs you! This a sneak preview of a community project to build & host a place to find and browse OpenShift Community-sourced QuickStarts and Cartridges in GitHub. This package is a general-purpose stand-alone index of quickstarts and cartridges for the OpenShift hosting platform and can easily be deployed on an Origin-based Platform as a Service. The project is written in Python using Flask and could use some more community love so if you have some band-width, take a look at the code & make a few commits! CSS/HTML stylists wanted!

OpenShift is Red Hat's polyglot Platform as a service which allow you to run a large range of services in the cloud. In this talk I will give an introduction to OpenShift, what it offers and how it works. The talk will be in two parts. The first is about OpenShift in general and how to use it from the command line and the web console. The Second part is about how JBoss Developer Studio works with OpenShift and how it both coexist and extend the experience you get with "plain" OpenShift. This part will focus especially on how well the JavaEE and mobile parts of Developer Studio works with OpenShift. The talk is intended to be practical and guided by attendees question.  Max Rydahl Andersen was born and raised in Denmark, worked on health care software systems for some time.  In that work I bumped into this small project called Hibernate and had to fix a couple of things in it to make it useful.  Since then I've been working at Red Hat on Hibernate Core, Hibernate Tools, Seam and now lately JBoss Tools and Developer Studio.

Google App Engine (GAE) is a popular PaaS offering. Where its scalable and reliable environment is hidden behind a custom API. This makes GAE apps hard to port over to other non-GAE environments. But what if one could implement such similar environment? And you could simply move your GAE application’s .war file to this new environment and it would just work? After all, at the end it’s all about the API, plus scalable and reliable services. JBoss CapeDwarf project aims at making this a reality. This presentation will provide a glimpse into what it takes to implement something as GAE, ranging from runtime integration with JBoss Application Server, actual services implementation to last but not least, automated heavy testing.
