Come say hi to the RHEL Developer Program and OpenShift teams at Fluent next week. I think the schedule looks super interesting, but to curate a few that I hope to get to: So many js libraries, so little time, which makes the JavaScript Smackdown! Choosing Your MVC between Angular, Ember, and Backbone look really interesting. Getting a deeper understanding of Angular with: Leveling Up in Angular Red Hat's own Steve Citron-Pousty will be talking about GIS in his talk...
Hopefully, a lot of you are trying out RHEL 7. I know I have been for the last weeks and I documented my experience in an earlier post. Initially, I had some trepidation about moving to the new beta without EPEL being available. For the most part, I have been able to track down RPMs for everything I need that wasn't included in the Beta, but, I am happy to discover that the "beta" of EPEL for RHEL7 is now...
I decided to switch to the RHEL 7 Beta on my work laptop. As a result, I thought I would outline my experience here. First and foremost, my drive is pretty well partitioned with /home and root ("/") separated. I also keep most of my "work" in a separate mount under /mnt/nbu ("nbu" stands for "not backed up" which is not strictly true, it just doesn't use the corporate backup :) and the name stuck). However, I don't want to...
As you probably saw, we announced the availability of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 Beta on the 11th of December. Would you like to get more involved in the Beta? Well, we have spun up a special program (Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 Beta: Partner Early Access Program (hence we normally just call it the "PEAP" :) ) for partners who are interested and excited about working with the Beta and sharing their feedback. We will be staffing a...
Came across this post on the Red Hat Services blog about some solid practices for "doing" DevOps. I liked Mr. Hoffman's simple explanation of what DevOps is. I also liked that he points out how just using a tool (or a set of tools) does not equal "doing DevOps." Check it out and make sure you leave some comments here or there about what you think.
So, yeah, it was in beta testing, but now it's generally available! See the recent Red Hat press release. If you use virtualization in your development (e.g. spinning up VMs for projects), you might find the ability to change proc counts while the guest is running useful. RHEL 6.5 virtualization also adds direct integration with GlusterFS / Red Hat Storage in case you want to play with that in a virtualized test environment. Dynamic storage is definitely getting interesting and...
This is part 3 of a three part article on Continuous Integration Strategies: Simplifying application development on Red Hat® Enterprise Linux® SOFTWARE COLLECTIONS The testing environment requirements are simplified somewhat if your software is built against a Red Hat Software Collection (RHSCL). Red Hat Software Collections provide three primary features: the ability to have multiple versions of software on one OS, certainty that the software is the same across versions of the OS, and the option to refresh components more...
This is part 2 of a three part article on Continuous Integration Strategies: Simplifying application development on Red Hat® Enterprise Linux® KEY GOALS Within a Continuous Integration environment there are some key features that are required to encourage an effective process. SOURCE CODE REPOSITORY—JUST THE ONE For the effective operation of CI, it’s essential that all project source code and build components are maintained in a single repository. The repository must contain not just the source code, but all the...
