The Linux container technology in Red Hat Enterprise Linux now combines resource management, process isolation, and file system separation. Docker uses the Linux container capabilities to provide standardization, ease of use, and portability. See a demo of how to set up multiple containers, deploying an assortment of workloads, and measuring the performance impact of running them at the same time using prototype user interface.

Learn how a transition to Red Hat Enterprise Linux can reduce costly downtime, migration time, and total cost of ownership in your organization.

Red Hat® JBoss® Enterprise Application Platform (EAP) allows you to quickly deploy JavaEE-compliant applications on top of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. By utilizing Linux containers you can create a consistent environment for running EAP that will include all necessary application dependencies, like OpenJDK and any Java applications that you need to deploy or distribute. This demonstration provides step-by-step instructions on how to set up such configurations.

When is free Linux more expensive? When you have an enterprise to run. Every IT organization is looking for ways to be more efficient. What you may not realize is that pieces of your infrastructure like community Linux are actually making your job more difficult. Red Hat can help. This video demonstrates how standardizing on Red Hat Enterprise Linux can save your organization money and make you more productive and more efficient.

In this session, Rhys Oxenham talks about Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform, a highly scalable Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS) solution, from the ground up. We'll start from the traditional datacenter virtualization perspective and move through to the platform that enables scale-out, fault-tolerant workloads. You'll also learn about the major components in the OpenStack Havana release cycle, how they fit together, and how they can be used to create an IaaS cloud platform. You'll see a basic demonstration of the key workflows that an end user would experience and learn how they can administer OpenStack environments. This session was part of the Cloud Readiness track. http://www.redhat.com/summit

Putting technology in front of a wide audience quickly is part of the open source model, as seen in the 'release early, release often' mantra popular among open source developers. This community collaboration results in more feedback about feature functionality, and more opportunities for developers to continually improve code. Red Hat participates in this process as part of the Fedora community, and its contributions to Fedora help enhance the technology selected by Fedora's substantial user and contributor base. Fedora and Red Hat create a more scalable, extensible, and interoperable Red Hat Enterprise Linux.

This is a demonstration of Oracle databases being deployed with Red Hat Enterprise Linux using Linux containers. The demo also goes into comparing container deployments to more traditional bare-metal and virtual machine deployment scenario and discusses the benefits. See how Red Hat Enterprise Linux enables your database environments to stay both flexible and current by utilizing Linux container technologies for deploying Oracle 11gR2 on RHEL 6, Oracle 12c on RHEL 6, and Oracle 12c on RHEL 7.

A new system management featured called systemd can help you better manage your servers with improved boot times, simplified syntax, and backwards compatibility with existing initialization scripts. See a demo of custom script migration to help you get familiar with new systemd utilities and commands.

The installer for Red Hat Enterprise Linux is changing to dramatically improve the installation experience. See a demo of a few installation scenarios to learn about the more streamlined and responsive installer, which guides new users quickly through typical set-up steps.

In this demo, Scott Collier shows how to use Docker containers (the contents of an image and its features) to cat out contents of /etc/host, launch a web server, and bindmounting log files to see activity on host machines.

How do you modernize your datacenter while maintaining the integrity of your current system? Red Hat Enterprise Linux offers stability and reliability on a single, open platform, so you can focus on the projects that add value to your business.

Senior Software Maintenance Engineer Neil Horman from Red Hat demonstrates cgroups, a generic mechanism the kernel provides for grouping of processes and applying controls to those groups. The grouping is done via a virtual filesystem called 'cgroup.' Within this filesytem, each directory defines a new group. Tunables within a cgroup are provided by what the kernel calls 'controllers.' Each controller is able to expose one or more tunable or control. When mounting the cgroups filesystem, it is possible to mount the filesystem several times, with each mount point having a different set of (non-overlapping) controllers. The key idea is that this allows the administrator to construct differing group hierarchies for different sets of controllers/tunables, which offers new ways to control and manage cloud resources.

Mission-critical RAS capabilities on Intel hardware. Applications that run best on Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Scalability, flexibility, reliability. All these factors contribute to the highest levels of performance made possible with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6. Hear our partners--IBM, HP, Dell, BMC, and more--explain why.

In this two-hour session, Douglas Shakshober (Shak) and Larry Woodman will explore the system performance analysis and tuning necessary to maximize the performance of systems running Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and 6. They will focus on large systems that run the most common applications such as database servers, Internet servers, and various financial applications on a variety of the common hardware platforms.

Secure-24, a Red Hat Certified Cloud Provider, partners with Red Hat to ensure stability, scalability and security with Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Red Hat JBoss Middleware, and Red Hat Satellite.

Adobe Systems, a long-time user of Red Hat® Enterprise Linux®, wanted to offer its enterprise customers easy access to sandbox resources to evaluate and prototype solutions using Adobe products. Turning to the cloud, Adobe used Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Amazon Web Services (AWS) to not only deliver a sandbox solution, but also to offer customers a Software- as-a-Service (SaaS) option for deploying Adobe-based solutions. Today, Adobe is using the Red Hat platform and Amazon Web Services to help customers simplify deployment, lower cost of ownership, and accelerate time to value.

In this session from the 2012 Red Hat Summit, Andrew Cathrow, product manager, and Chuck Dubuque, product marketing manager for Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization. They discuss Red Hat virtualization, including Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization 3, and the past, present, and future of virtualization technology. Dubuque discusses the current environment, including virtualization competitor VMware, and the opportunity that a second source for virtualization--a open standards source--offers.
