About a year ago, Red Hat Product Security decided to move its blog, the Red Hat Security Blog, off of WordPress.com's infrastructure and onto Red Hat's OpenShift. There were some initial growing pains since this was a relatively new thing to do, but it wasn't long before the blog was in a stable environment. There were plans to put the application on a larger gear (it was hosted on a small gear) and to make it scalable (it wasn't), but...

Is Java really greedy for memory? Java is often blamed for being an over-hungry consumer of physical memory. Indeed, until recently our OpenShift team were tempted to draw this same conclusion.

You can access it via public Cloud infrastructure managed by Red Hat (OpenShift Online) or even deploy it to your own data centre/private cloud (OpenShift Enterprise). OpenShift Online provides simple and manageable scalability to anyone developing and...

Came across this post on the Red Hat Services blog about some solid practices for "doing" DevOps. I liked Mr. Hoffman's simple explanation of what DevOps is. I also liked that he points out how just using a tool (or a set of tools) does not equal "doing DevOps." Check it out and make sure you leave some comments here or there about what you think.
