Red Hat is one of the early backers of the OpenStack cloud and also the largest contributor to the project. They have been part of OpenStacks’ overall evolution. During the OpenStack Summit Sydney, Australia, we talked to Radhesh Balakrishnan, General Manager for OpenStack at Red Hat to understand this evolution.

Balakrishnan said that the OpenStack community is reacting to the trend that we are seeing in the market. As the adoption of OpenStack is growing, new players are coming in and the project is evolving and adapting.

“That's the good part about having a community driven innovation model,” said Balakrishnan. “We are in a good spot because OpenStack has proven itself to be the open underlying infrastructure for a number of verticals.”
