"Planning as we know it is dead. Planning in a less well-known environment is too ineffective."In this fast-paced ecosystem, Red Hat is envisioning a future where innovation comes from people who work together in groups. "It's a try, learn and modify method, which allows practitioners to make incremental advances," said the CEO. The role for Red Hat here is of one a facilitator, who creates a context for individuals to take action. Red Hat wants people, especially the developers from all parts of life to build new products. One of the biggest challenges here, however, is simply getting started: challenges in understanding the needs of the business, setting up developer tools, dev and test environments, and even selecting technologies for a new project. Red Hat aims to help developers overcome these challenges with Openshift.io, a new, end-to-end, cloud-native development experience. It will offer a free online development environment for building cloud-native, container-based applications, without the requirement of any installation.Built for team collaboration, OpenShift.io supports various development methodologies and philosophies, as well as source control systems. According to Red Hat, Openshift.io combines the innovations from several open source projects, such as Jenkins and Eclipse Che, and fabric8, and is designed to deliver application development tools and environments that'll help to maintain relevancy in a digitally transforming marketplace. By giving developers the guidance to select right tools and create new applications and cloud services, Red Hat believes that As Red Hat moves into these new territories, there is an added responsibility on the vendors, resellers and consultants to translate the benefits of Red Hat products into business productivity and profitability to their customers.
