IBM looking to acquire RedHat

@dyasny said in IBM looking to acquire RedHat:
@stacksofplates Canonical isn't a player in the cloud space. Sure they have some products but their market share is puny.
I don't think he was specifically mentioning cloud. Just that MS would use this opportunity to purchase them.

I meant as a platform to build clouds, not as an ephemeral instance. Those aren't bringing any money in to Canonical, no matter how many of them get deployed here and there.
If you look at actual clouds built on Linux, (and really, there aren't many that are not, out there), Ubnutu is definitely very far from being the platform of choice. If you subtract the actually supported and paid for machines in that pool... well, you know what the answer will be

It's web, not cloud, but web is a leading workload for cloud.

OIC, yes, that might easily be. No idea what people are building on.

I've built quite a few, and very often I would come in, remove Ubuntu with Canonical's juju whatever or Mirantis fuel, and deploy, as a final production setup, not a POC. That was my job, pretty much, with Openstack.

I use that term, not often, but it is used.

Not the term. It's an actual Canonical project.

Hah, well reading that, I see that my usage of the term is appropriate.. because it is usually me saying "bad juju"

Yeah, I use it that way, too. Once in a while.

My guess would be RHEL first, then CentOS.

The real point is - which of those actually provide revenue to the company building the distribution and the cloud software on top of it

Point received.

@JaredBusch Me either. I just read the article. I loved that Red Hat wasn't joined with anyone. I know that IBm has been moving toward open source for a long time but I just don't know about it.
