        OpenShift is Red Hat's PaaS solution. @ajstringham So competing with Heroku and ElasticBeanstalk.

          PaaS? What is the P? It's something as a service.

            OpenShift Platform as a Service

            OpenShift is Red Hat's Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) that allows developers to quickly develop, host, and scale applications in a cloud environment. With OpenShift you have choice of offerings, including online, on premise, and open source project options.

              @hubtech Ah, ok. Got it. Very nice! So, in a way, is it RHEL's version of Sharepoint?

                Have not played with it yet. What specific applications can you use it for?

                  No. Not related to RHEL and nothing like Sharepaint.

                    Python, ruby, node.js - the usual suspects. Java maybe now too.

                      @scottalanmiller Is its purpose to simply develop new applications? Isn't that similar, in principle at least, to Sharepoint? Or is this much more stripped down than sharepoint? What is the exact purpose I'm just wondering? App dev?

                        It's what's called a platform. The most basic layer that allows you to deploy something to it. It is purely part of your infrastructure. Sharepoint is an application itself that, in theory, could be installed onto a PaaS. PaaS sits between IaaS and SaaS.

                              @Hubtech Ah ok. I knew SaaS but had just never seen it in that context. The original makes sense. Just not terms I had seen before.
