This is yet another video from OSCON 2011 talking about cloud providers with open source cred. In this post, I am going to present two different PaaS providers taking two different approaches to offering PaaS targeting the enterprises. Both these offering falls into what I call as Federated PaaS offerings but VMware takes a more distributed approach behind the screen and Redhat takes a container like approach. In this video, I talk to both VMware and Redhat about their offerings, the advantages of their approach to PaaS and also about the pundit’s perception that PaaS hasn’t taken off as expected.
Here is the video of my chat with Derek Collison, CTO of Cloud Applications at VMware
Here is the video of my chat with David Blado, PaaS evangelist at Redhat
