I work for Pivotal as an engineer. Red Hat was my first distro, back in '97. I'm grateful. I wasn't around for the discussion about why Cloud Foundry originally standardised on Ubuntu, but if you're Red Hat, you're hardly going to bet on that. Red Hat's lifeblood is RHEL, anything which threatens it is existential. And PaaSes threaten RHEL, unless Red Hat controls their own. Red Hat deserve credit for making a big bet on Kubernetes so early on, when the picture was by no means clear. It's definitely put them well in the hunt against us as k8s picked up momentum. I think Openshift 3 plays to their historical strength, which is in packaging upstream and supporting or feeding back to the upstream. The article mentions Kubo. We're adding PKS (based on Kubo), jointly developed with Google (Kubernetes, Kubo) and VMWare (Harbor, NSX). In Labs, from the balanced product team up to the C-suite, we can transform the way you build software. A lot of companies come to us to learn how to thrive in the world of disruption. So it would've been downright silly not to spot one happening to us and ... uh ... pivot.
