OpenShift on OpenStack: PB&J in the Cloud Application Platform Sandwich

Join us as Red Hat and Rackspace join forces to host an engaging talk and presentation about OpenShift on OpenStack. Come to Haymarket hungry for food, beers and knowledge! Bonus: be entered to win a Google Home and take home a yetiesque tumbler.

OpenStack provides the foundation for giving developers the infrastructure tools they need to be more agile and productive. OpenShift provides developers with the platform centric tools they need to build next generation applications utilizing Docker & Kubernetes.

Together, these two open source technologies deliver the complete private cloud solution that can help you modernize and transform your business. Join Red Hat Cloud Evangelist, Jeff Ekstrom to learn how OpenShift on OpenStack delivers a heterogeneous cloud that support virtual machines, bare-metal servers and containers and provides a common application development platform across multiple clouds. Jeff will also review how a flexible private cloud enables developers to solve multiple use cases and how to deploy and manage both technologies in one cloud.
