  • Docker is red hot at Red Hat

    The news from the Red Hat Summit this weeks almost appears to be all Docker all the time.  A series of announcements has made Docker clearly the container of choice for Red Hat users. But don’t stop at just Red Hat. Docker has pretty much locked down all of the major Linux distros including Amazon’s AWS Linux version with more on the way. More on this on Network World here.

    Here is a recap of the news:

    http://blog.docker.io/2014/04/docker-red-hat-even-more-goodness/

    • Expansion of RHEL 7.0 Beta to include Docker container technologies.  Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 is currently in beta and is targeted to be a Red Hat certified container host, with Docker as a primary supported container format;

    • Docker Integration with OpenShift PaaS.  Application containers in OpenShift will be integrated with Docker and support Red Hat certified ISV applications packaged in the Docker container format. These same containerized applications will also be supported on other Red Hat products;

    • Red Hat Certification.  As revealed last month, Red Hat is launching certification of applications delivered in the Docker container format – Dockerize All The Things!

    • One More Thing.  Finally, in addition to the above, for enterprise IT orgs conducting projects with Docker and Red Hat, Docker, Inc. has developed additional service offerings, including developer support and a JumpStart program.

  • VictorOps Joins Rackspace Marketplace; Offers Collaborative Alert Management Platform for DevOps

    Significantly Decreases Time To Resolution for Incidents to Reduce Costs For Customers

     BOULDER, Colo., March 19, 2014 /PRNewswire/ — VictorOps, a collaboration and incident management platform designed for DevOps teams, today announced that it has joined the Marketplace for Rackspace® Hosting, RAX +0.03% , the open cloud company. As part of the Marketplace, VictorOps will offer a solution for Rackspace customers that gives them constant situational awareness of their application performance allowing for smarter, real-time collaboration around problems.

    The VictorOps platform allows DevOps to define on-call schedules that notify team members of infrastructure and service delivery platform problems as they occur according to company, team and personal escalation policies. Team members are alerted via VictorOps’ native Android and iOS applications or by SMS, email or phone call.

    “As long-term Rackspace customers, and as a DevOps driven organization, we’re excited to see tools like VictorOps in the Rackspace Marketplace,” said Nick Stielau, Director of Operations for Pantheon. Stielau is focused on architecting and selecting solutions that support his DevOps team members. “Without innovative, team-centric tools like VictorOps, creating an aligned development organization is an uphill battle,” he continued.

    Team members can post ideas and trouble shoot problems in real-time while having unprecedented access to the data they need to solve the problem regardless of physical location or time-of-day. Teams that can share situational data easily, inject thoughts and comments, and leverage team members who are not physically present is key to reducing the time-to-resolution for the company and a better lifestyle for the team as a whole.

    “The power of a collaborative solution for real-time problem solving is in its ability to leverage the entire team’s knowledge in a scalable way through all phases of the incident lifecycle,” said Todd Vernon, CEO and co-founder, VictorOps. “Bringing our collaboration platform to the Marketplace enables Rackspace customers to purchase a solution with new ways to solve problems in a smarter way, which can help solve the same or similar problems faster the next time they occur. This reduces overall costs for a business.”

    “As early adopters of DevOps, we see VictorOps as a natural fit for the Marketplace,” said John Engates, chief technology officer, Rackspace. “We share their desire to enable DevOps teams to do their jobs more effectively and believe that the addition of VictorOps will add great value to the Marketplace.”

  • New Relic Announces Groundbreaking Real-Time Analytics Platform

    Cloud-based New Relic Insights collects, stores and processes trillions of events from web and mobile software to allow customers to easily and quickly answer the most important business questions

    SAN FRANCISCO AND NEW YORK – March 19, 2014 – Software analytics company New Relic today announced the arrival of Insights, a real-time analytics platform that collects, stores and presents valuable data directly from modern software, and transforms the data into insights about customers, applications and the business. Delivered as a cloud-based software-as-a-service (SaaS) offering and using New Relic’s lightning-fast and custom-built Big Data database platform, New Relic Insights empowers application developers and business users alike to make ad hoc and iterative queries across trillions of events and metrics and get answers in seconds.

    The Big Data Challenge

    Traditionally, there hasn’t been a fast, easy or cost-effective way to collect, store and interact with real-time data to gain business or IT insights. With today’s fast-paced economy, businesses can no longer afford to wait hours or days for a static report that may not provide the data required for data-driven, software-powered businesses. Frequently, the data is out of date and ad-hoc queries take hours to complete, limiting what and how many questions decision makers can ask – making data-driven, iterative decision making impossible.

    New Relic Insights to the Rescue

    • Collect data about your software, customers and business directly from your software using New Relic’s intelligent agents
    • Store volumes of data in New Relic’s super-cluster and take advantage of a custom-built database to query billions of metrics in seconds
    • Present visualizations and dashboards immediately with the New Relic Query Language (NRQL), a simple SQL-like language that automatically generates data visualizations, so even novice users get answers fast

    New Momentum for the Category of Software Analytics

    New Relic Insights is only one offering from New Relic within the much broader Software Analytics category. Every modern business is software-driven and interacts with its customers digitally whether via mobile or the web. As a result, software holds answers about your customers’ behaviors and actions, which reflect on the state of your business and your relationship with customers. There are five components that make up Software Analytics:

    • Real-time Analytics Platforms – Collect trillions of events from applications and allow users to query the data easily to answer tough business questions
    • Application Performance Management – Developers and IT operations groups monitor and troubleshoot the performance of their web and mobile software
    • Operational Intelligence – IT operations groups analyze and identify trends in operational systems
    • Infrastructure Management –IT Operations groups monitor and troubleshoot the performance of IT infrastructure
    • Business Optimization and Analytics Apps – Business user groups optimize their job functions

    Ways to Gain From New Relic Insights

    • Product Management – Make a query about the adoption of new product features that were recently launched, determine which customers are actually using the features to enable actions and next-steps.
    • Marketing – Find out if the new marketing campaign is a homerun or a strikeout in real-time. If it’s a homerun – spend more. If it’s a strikeout, kill the campaign before the budget is blown.
    • Sales – Track customers’ experiences and product usage during a free trial. Immediate insight into key stakeholders and issues that they might have with the product.
    • Customer Loyalty and Support – Manage customer engagement and happiness through each click of their mouse. Understand why a customer makes a call to support before they make the call.
    • Application Developers and IT Operations – Track customer interactions with a site over the previous 10 minutes to find the root cause of a support issue that cannot be reproduced.

    The New Relic Insights Beta Program Highlights

    • This new Real-Time Analytics Platform (previously code-named Project Rubicon) is now in public beta. More than 275 customers have participated in the private beta to-date. All paying New Relic customers get immediate access to the new product for free for a limited time.
    • Each account gets 1 billion metrics stored for up to seven days for free during the beta period. More than 1 trillion events have already been stored in the new product over the last month.

    Supporting Quotes

    “New Relic Insights is like a data Swiss army knife, a tool you can use for a multitude of analytics needs and opportunities. For any modern publisher, analytics is omnipresent with millions of data points – think March Madness and World Cup 2014 just for starters. Bleacher Report sees New Relic Insights adding significant engagement opportunities with our sports fans around the globe.” – Sam Parnell, CTO, Bleacher Report

    “The New Relic API and the software analytics now available through New Relic Insights are allowing us to analyze and iterate feature changes to our website and donor experience in sophisticated A/B testing that wouldn’t be available any other way with any other tool. Software Analytics is helping us save the lives of children in countries like Zambia and Uganda, all made possible by New Relic.” – Joel Worrall, CTO, CURE

    “New Relic Insights is a spotlight that rapidly uncovers major insights about our properties — and is an invaluable tool for both our tech and marketing teams. The custom dashboards and ability to add custom attributes allow us rapidly to ask better questions and quickly learn from those, so we can dig further and make better business decisions — both for the platforms as well as the user experiences they support. The monitor-test-get results cycle has been reduced from two weeks to daily (or even intra-day) — the speed with which you can build a query and get a response has created a near real-time intelligence capability. Finally, the instrument-launch-monitor cycle now fits in our agile development and marketing processes.” – Paul Ryan, CTO, Yellow Pages Group, Canada

    “I am so excited that New Relic Insights is now a reality, a completely new type of product that signals New Relic’s second act. It builds upon our ability to collect, store and make sense of billions of metrics and offers the ability to instantly query live production software, iterate on the fly and act upon the results. I truly think New Insights will transform the way businesses use data from their software to make better decisions.” – Lew Cirne, founder and CEO, New Relic

  • Red Hat Announces Certification for Containerized Applications, Extends Customer Confidence and Trust to the Cloud

    Red Hat Container Certification delivers secure, consistent and simplified platform for ISVs to take advantage of containers in Docker format

    RALEIGH, N.C., Mar 11, 2014 (BUSINESS WIRE) — Red Hat, Inc. RHT -0.84% , the world’s leading provider of open source solutions, today announced the extension of its application certification program to include containerized applications. The Red Hat Container Certification ensures that application containers built using Red Hat Enterprise Linux will operate seamlessly across certified container hosts. Designed with the needs of independent software vendors (ISVs), service providers and their enterprise customers in mind, the certification extends the confidence customers have with Red Hat Enterprise Linux, which currently supports thousands of certified applications, to certified containers running on certified container hosts. The pending release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 and Red Hat’s OpenShift Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) offering will both be certified container hosts, with Docker as a primary supported container format.

    Linux Containers

    Linux Containers have emerged as a key open source application packaging and delivery technology, combining lightweight application isolation with the flexibility of image-based deployment methods. Developers have rapidly embraced Linux Containers because they simplify and accelerate application deployment, while many PaaS platforms are built around Linux container technology, including OpenShift by Red Hat. Red Hat Enterprise Linux implements Linux Containers using core technologies such as Control Groups (cGroups), Resource Management, SELinux, and network namespaces, enabling secure multi-tenancy and reducing the potential for security exploits.

    Building on the capabilities of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, application containers are deployed as software packages that include the application and all of its required runtime components. Benefits include:

    • Instant portability , deploy the certified application container across any certified container host
    • Minimal footprint , avoid the overhead of virtual machine images which include a complete operating system
    • Simplified maintenance , reduce the effort and risk by patching applications along with all of their dependencies
    • Lowered development costs , develop, test and certify applications against a single runtime environment

    Red Hat Container Certification

    The Red Hat Container Certification is the latest addition to Red Hat’s industry-leading certification portfolio that includes Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform. The certification is also part of a larger set of Red Hat technology initiatives which in turn support thousands of third party technology partners within Red Hat’s global ecosystem

    To support this newly announced container certification, Red Hat is also announcing the container certification Partner Early Access Program (PEAP). The PEAP will run through late spring and provide the ability for ecosystem partners to participate in early testing, integration and feedback of the tools and resources required for containerization prior to the official launch of the certification and partner program, currently planned for mid-2014. Beginning today, companies interested in being part of the PEAP can learn more by visiting https://engage.redhat.com/content/enterprise-early-access-se-201402101640.

    Supporting Quotes

    Paul Cormier, president, Products and Technologies, Red Hat

    “Twelve years ago, Red Hat shook up the enterprise status quo with the introduction of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, a safe, consistent Linux platform for the ISV ecosystem. Today, the trust that ISVs place in Red Hat Enterprise Linux can extend to containerized applications with the Red Hat Container Certification, ensuring that containers built on Red Hat Enterprise Linux will work as intended across certified hosts, delivering expanded application flexibility, lowered costs and simplified maintenance, all backed by the support and expertise expected from Red Hat.”

    Ben Golub, CEO, Docker

    “As the de facto standard in open source container technology, we are pleased to see Red Hat embracing the container movement as a means of application efficiency and consistency across computing footprints. By offering a container certification on Red Hat Enterprise Linux and Docker, Red Hat is providing the industry’s only standardized, stable platform for commercial container workloads, providing a safe, reliable way to deliver the enterprise applications of the future.”

    Matt Asay, Vice President of Marketing and Business Development, MongoDB

    “Consistent with its mission of high value and affordability, Red Hat continues this trend through a supported platform that enables consistent enterprise-grade application deployment. We’re excited to work with Red Hat to provide customers a seamless database environment that is consistent from development to deployment, regardless of where it resides within the open hybrid cloud.”
