Red Hat fortifies OpenStack suite, eases management for enterprise users
Summary
With its latest distribution of the cloud hosting software, Red Hat is betting that they want a streamlined installation process and carrier-grade reliability. Were talking real workloads that require predictable enterprise capabilities," said Radhesh Balakrishnan, Red Hat general manager for virtualization and OpenStack. A new OpenStack feature called instance groups allows administrators to set policies specifying where virtual machines (VMs) can be placed within a cloud deployment. "Telcos, driven by business realities, are aggressively looking to reinvent themselves by embracing commodity based cloud solutions," Balakrishnan said, adding that the financial industry would be interested in this technology as well. By releasing the software as open source, Red Hat hopes to thwart competitors in the OpenStack space that maintain proprietary sets of tools for managing hybrid clouds.
