Stupid Ansible Tricks: Running a role from the command line by Lars 
Kellogg-Stedman

When writing Ansible roles I occasionally want a way to just run a role 
from the command line, without having to muck about with a playbook. 
I've seen similar requests on the mailing lists and on irc.

Admin, by Adam Young

While I tend to play up bug 968696 for dramatic effect, the reality is 
we have a logical contradiction on what we mean by ‘admin’ when talking 
about RBAC.

It’s been some time since the last time I talked here about High

DevOps in a Bi-Modal World (Part 4 of 4) by James Labocki

In this series we have seen the complexity of bridging the gap between 
existing infrastructure and processes (Mode 1) and new, agile processes 
and architectures (Mode 2). Each brings its own set of challenges and 
demands on the organization. In Mode-1 organizations are looking to 
increase relevance and reduce complexity, and in Mode-2 they are looking 
to improve agility and increase scalability. In this post we will 
discuss how Red Hat addresses and solves each of these challenges.

Why the Operating System Matters by Margaret Dawson

In IT today, we love to note that the infrastructure layer has become 
commoditized. This started with virtualization, as we could create many 
virtual machines within a single physical machine. Cloud has taken us 
further with a key value proposition of delivering cloud services on any 
standard server or virtualized environment, enabling easier scalability 
and faster service delivery, among other benefits.

features in Ansible 2.0. In the previous article I looked at the Docker 
connection driver. In this article, I would like to provide an overview 
of the new-and-much-improved suite of modules for interacting with an 
OpenStack environment, and provide a few examples of their use.

OpenStack Summit Tokyo – Day 0 (Pre-event) by Jeff Jameson

I’ve always enjoyed traveling to Tokyo, Japan, as the people are always 
so friendly and willing to help. Whether it’s finding my way through the 
Narita airport or just trying to find a place to eat, they’re always 
willing to help – even with the language barrier. And each time I visit, 
I see something new, learn another word (or two) in Japanese, and it all 
just seems new and exciting all over again. Add in the excitement and 
buzz of an OpenStack Summit and you’ve got a great week in Tokyo!

A Container Stack for OpenStack (Part 1 of 2) by Joe Fernandes

Open source continues to be a tremendous source of innovation and 
nowhere is that more evident than at the biannual OpenStack Summit. Over 
the past couple of years, as OpenStack interest and adoption has grown, 
we’ve seen another important innovation emerge from the open source 
community in the form of Linux containers, driven by Docker and 
associated open source projects. As the world gathers in Tokyo for 
another OpenStack Summit, we wanted to talk about how Red Hat is 
bringing these two innovations together, to make OpenStack a great 
platform for running containerized applications.

OpenStack Summit Tokyo – Day 1 by Jeff Jameson

Kon’nichiwa from Tokyo, Japan where the 11th semi-annual OpenStack 
Summit is officially underway! This event has come a long way from its 
first gathering, more than five years ago, where 75 people gathered in 
Austin, Texas to learn about OpenStack in its infancy. That’s a sharp 
contrast with the 5,000+ people in attendance here in what marks Asia’s 
second OpenStack Summit.

What does RDO stand for? by Rich Bowen

The RDO FAQ has long said that RDO doesn't stand for anything. This is a 
very unsatisfying answer to one of the most frequently asked questions 
about RDO. So, a little while ago, I started saying that RDO stands for 
"Rich's Distribution of OpenStack." Although tongue-in-cheek, this 
response emphasizes that RDO is a community driven project. So it's also 
Radez's Distribution of OpenStack, and Radhesh's and Russel's and 
red_trela's. (As well as lots of people whose names don't start with R!)

these organizations, 65% say OpenStack is an important part of their

associated with cloud adoption.

A Container Stack for OpenStack (Part 2 of 2) Joe Fernandes

In Part 1 of this blog series, I talked about how Red Hat has been 
working with the open source community to build a new container stack 
and our commitment to bring that to OpenStack. In Part 2 I will discuss 
additional capabilities Red Hat is working on to build an enterprise 
container infrastructure and how this is forms the foundation of our 
containerized application platform in OpenShift.

OpenStack Summit Tokyo – Day 3 by Jeff Jameson

Hello again from Tokyo, Japan where the third and final day of OpenStack 
Summit has come to a close. As with the previous days of the event,

Summit was a rousing overall success!
