Discussion

Questions for Steven:

• How long have been in your new role
• What is your Java/middleware experience
• Tell us your perspective on microprofile.io
• How about EE4J
• What is the advantage of Wildfly/JBoss domain mode now that containerization exists (e.g. multiple standalone hosts on Docker for example with same configuration in mod_cluster environment)?
• Docker swarm vs. Kubernetes - what are the differences/benefits?
• What are the most popular open source projects at Red Hat these days?
• What some of your favorite projects at Red Hat right now
• Coming from Kubernetes land can you tell us some more about containers
• What are you most excited about right now - it’s an awesome time to be a Java developer. Actually may be the best time EVER.
• What areas does OpenShift actually cover? (i.e. how does it compare to AWS, Google Cloud Services, Azure, etc.)

Other topics:

• VertX
• Key Cloak - Open Source Identity and Access Management
• • Similar to cloud providers: Okta, Stormpath, Auth0, Passport
• Apache ActiveMQ  and Red Hat’s AMQ
