Superfluidity Project: One Network to Rule Them All!
The Superfluidity Project was a 33-month European (H2020) research project (July 2015–April 2018) aimed at achieving superfluidity on the Internet: the capability to instantiate services on-the-fly, run them anywhere in the network (core, aggregation, edge), and shift...
Bringing Automation to Container Space
The wonders of automation have been thoroughly enjoyed by sysadmins in recent years with tools like Ansible enabling rapid deployment of applications and services across servers and cloud-based platforms. But as the IT world evolves to more container-based...
Introducing the Red Hat Summit Office of the CTO Sessions
At the first signs of Spring, all Red Hatters turn at least one eye toward Red Hat Summit. Over the years, we’ve had many conversations with attendees about what kind of information and perspectives they’d like to hear at Summit. We learned that attendees appreciated...

Sitting in the frigid air-conditioned room somewhere under the surface of a tropical island, it soon became obvious that I was very likely the dumbest person in the place. And, if the men and women around me have their druthers, in a few years, I might not be the...
The Long View on Blockchain
Blockchain is everybody’s latest buzzword–right up there with AI and IoT–but what does it mean, and how is it relevant to the enterprise? The answer to those questions is likely “a lot,” but before we get to that, let’s define what a blockchain is–and isn’t. So What...
Open Source Strength Within Distributed Weakness Filing
If you could visualize the code that comprises our current technology landscape, you might imagine in your mind's eye a glowing field of interconnected lines with bright bits of information flowing along the lines' paths. Here and there, you might see flaws in the...
Bringing Intelligence to the Edge with IoT Gateway
In the previous blog, my colleague David Bericat discussed why Internet of Things (IoT) architecture should be built with open source. One of the core components of end-to-end IoT architecture listed in that article was an intelligent IoT gateway that can process data...
Building an Open End-to-End Internet of Things Architecture
Designing, implementing, securely operating, managing and maintaining IoT projects is complex. In fact, there are entire organizations whose sole mission is solving a specific problem within an IoT architecture. The problems that can be found within such architectures...
How Computers Became More Specialized Again
Computing styles ebb and flow. The centralized mainframe in the glass room largely ebbed in favor of the PC revolution that itself gave way, at least in part, to the web and the cloud. Today, we have a complex mix of massive datacenters, Internet-of-Things (IoT)...
Evaluating Tools Available to Deploy OpenStack on Kubernetes
The TripleO project is transitioning from bare-metal to containers-based OpenStack deployments. This transition started almost a year ago and it was split in two phases. The first phase targets Docker as the container runtime, whereas the second phase moves these...
