Private and public cloud service providers,
along with customers and partners in the banking, higher education,
and government verticals, collaborate on the OpenShift platform,
containers, and orchestration technologies
Red Hat, Inc. (NYSE: RHT), the world’s leading provider of open
source solutions, today announced that OpenShift Commons has
surpassed 200 members across more than 40 countries and key
industries, including private and public cloud service providers
and customers and partners in the banking and finance, higher
education, and public sector. OpenShift Commons is an open source
community spanning multiple projects where customers, partners, and
contributors collaborate and share best practices about adopting
container platforms at scale. The OpenShift Commons community is
designed to bridge multiple upstream projects that are incorporated
into OpenShift Origin including Kubernetes, Docker, Ansible,
Project Atomic and more.
Since its launch in 2015, OpenShift Commons has emerged as one
of the industry’s most unique and robust communities, combining
perspectives around container application development and
deployment from OpenShift partners, contributors and customers.
Recent customers, partners and service providers that have joined
OpenShift Commons include Charter Communications, Consensys, Cox
Automotive, Datadog, Infosys, Skatteetaten (Norwegian Tax
Administration), Tata Consulting Services, the University of
Michigan, and VMTurbo.
Unlike other vendor-sponsored software communities, OpenShift
Commons is dedicated to combining input and giving users
accessibility to best practices, operations knowledge, and
briefings on special topics. The OpenShift Commons community
focuses on intersection of shared interests between those
participants building cloud native applications and those deploying
OpenShift, the container platform, where these services are hosted.
These cross-community conversations and collaboration play a key
role in driving the container application industry forward.
Additionally, Red Hat is an active participant in the Cloud
Native Computing Foundation and the Open Container Initiative,
incorporating code from the Kubernetes and Prometheus projects into
OpenShift to ensure that the resulting open source container-based
clouds are fully interoperable. The OpenShift Commons Briefings
have also expanded to include new coverage areas to support
OpenShift’s expanded user base and variety of production
environments. New briefings cover topics such as upstream
Kubernetes, building Docker apps, and container security features.
The OpenShift Commons Special Interest Groups also have grown to
encompass new container application platform capabilities featured
in OpenShift 3, specific topics and vertical use cases such as
operations, .edu, image builders and big data.

“The substantial growth we have seen in OpenShift Commons,
driven by community members, our partners, and customers affirms
that innovation in the container application space can be achieved
through a truly open community model. Red Hat is proud to
facilitate an environment where cross-community collaboration can
thrive and members can pursue the areas of container application
development that interest them most.”
Stanislav Polášek, CEO, ELOS Technologies
"As one of the newest members of the OpenShift Commons, ELOS
Technologies is looking forward to accelerating our ability to
deploy OpenShift for our clients and ourselves internally. The
information sharing and collaboration that takes place in the
OpenShift Commons has helped us get up to speed with Kubernetes and
containers so that we can deliver more business value to our
customers. We are looking forward to contributing back to the
community in the future."
Marc Boorshtein, CTO, Tremolo Security, Inc.
“For Tremolo Security, OpenShift Commons has helped us build a
better identity management project and product by being able to
talk to the developers and operators to sound out our ideas and
avoid the development ‘echo chamber.’ There are few groups in this
industry with so many members that are a mix of partners and
customers working together.”
Rob Lalonde, vice president, Navops, Univa
“As a solution provider, we find OpenShift Commons to be a great
venue to dialogue and network with peers in the OpenShift
community. This community is where the rubber hits the road with
real world use-cases and technical people with real technical
challenges. We look forward to further participating in this
vibrant community as it develops further."
Sebastian Villa, director of Technology, Villamedia
“One of the many advantages of being a member of the OpenShift
Commons, Villamedia participated in the Openshift Dedicated Early
Access program and worked closely with OpenShift 3 before GA, and
provided our feedback to the engineers working on the project.
Since then, we've been sharing this exciting experience and the
advantages with our customers, colleagues and across the OpenShift
Commons at large. OpenShift Dedicated enables our team to build
great software to power scalable and containerized web, mobile and
cloud applications, without the infrastructure and DevOps overhead
associated with traditional systems we once depended on."
Alexis Richardson, CEO, Weaveworks, and Chair, TOC, Cloud Native
Computing Foundation
“Today's news demonstrates the depth and breadth of the global
reach of the OpenShift Commons. Now encompassing 200+ organizations
in more than 60 countries, OpenShift Commons is emerging as a new,
effective model for open source cross-community collaboration.
Weaveworks shares Red Hat’s commitment to collaborating on
container and cloud-native solutions to deliver a stable, more
secure and fully open-source cloud. Weaveworks is pleased to be
part of this community and looks forward to more cloud-native
collaboration efforts with Red Hat and the other members of the
Cloud Native Computing Foundation to accelerate adoption of
container-based microservices architectures.”
