Item — HN Reader

Thanks for the detailed writeup. I totally agree—there are corners of the product that seem pretty exciting, and I'm certainly a fan of redhat. I just think they could really help the effort by explaining the product better in their launch materials.

One quick question for them to address is if the entire stack (suite?) will be runnable on your own hardware or if it can only be consumed as a service.

I have bumped into all of the OpenShift.io managers and executives today at Red Hat Summit. They have all been discussing this very HN thread (they have all read it), and taking it to heart that they want to clean up the marketing items immediately.

As for your question - initially it will be released as a service. But it's Red Hat, and their customers are primarily on-premises with OpenShift sales, so the demand for on-premises deployment on your own hardware will be through the roof. So we'll see if RHT targets that demand.

We will. (12 year Red Hat veteran speaking)
