Innovate @Open

Ellen Newlands and Dmitri Pal handle product management and engineering respectively for Red Hat Identity management. In this podcast they discuss cross-realm trust, a new feature in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.0 (currently in beta), which centralizes identity and mnakes integrating identity management from Linux with Active Directory and managing it much easier than it has been in the past. We also cover some of the work that Red Hat is doing around one-time passwords.

Ellen Newlands shares new IdM and cryptograpy features in RHEL while Matt Smith talks about some trends that he's seeing at the customers he speaks with.

Red Hat's Jane Circle works with our certified cloud provider program and attended AWS re:Invent this year along with a number of other Red Hat folks. This year's event was twice as big as last year's and, among other things, featured an increased enterprise focus. Jane talks about what she heard from customers at the event and shares some observations about cloud security, cloud adoption, and cloud management.

Simon weighs in on the recent debate over whether we live in a "post open source" world in which, for many projects, some will argue that picking a license doesn't really matter or even be actively harmful. Simon then goes on to offer his views on how the principles behind open source are taking root in many areas beyond software. Finally, how are software patents going to play out?

Red Hat's OpenShift Platform-as-a-Service lets you skip the unproductive work associated with setting up development environments, work that Red Hat developer evangelist Steven Citron-Pousty call "yak shaving." Listen to this podcast to learn how easy it is to get started with OpenShift.

The scale and dynamism of cloud computing is changing the way in which systems need to be managed. Red Hat Satellite product managers Todd Warner and David Caplan talk about how these changes are being manifested in both current and upcoming Red Hat products and the open source communities associated with them.

One of the challenges with mobile app development is that they require a number of services, such as user authentication, that can take a lot of effort to develop--even though the requirements are largely common across many different mobile applications. Kinvey offers hosted services that mobile applications on clients can consume.

Platform-as-a-Service offerings, such as Red Hat's OpenShift, provide a great way for government agencies to provide separation of roles (so that the scope of contracters, for example, is narrowly defined). Gunnar also discusses how overall cloud adoption in government is proceeding.

Diane recently joined Red Hat as our Cloud Ecosystem Evangelist, initially focusing on our OpenShift Origin PaaS. In this podcast, Diane discusses why open source has become so important for PaaS (although PaaS didn't get started that way), how community-driven innovation benefits even those who never look at a line of source code, and what's in the works for OpenShift Origin.

OpenShift is Red Hat's Platform-as-a-Service. Mark Lamourine shares his experiences working with the OpenShift Origin code from the perspective of someone outside the main engineering organization.
