For years, I worked as the Fedora Project’s infrastructure team lead. It was quite possibly the best job I’ll ever have. People were constantly coming up with new ideas and as the keeper of resources, they’d come to the infrastructure team to put those ideas into motion. Looking back, I have regret. It’s about how many of those ideas I had to say no to just because there weren’t enough people or servers to go around. So many projects just never got off the ground because of the high cost of innovation.

With all those never born projects in mind, I joined Red Hat’s cloud computing initiative to make OpenShift a reality. OpenShift is Red Hat’s Platform as a Service (PaaS) offering and it’s the answer to so many problems I’ve had in the past, like those Fedora Project ideas that never got off the ground.
