Red Hats OpenShift Adds Full Java Lifecycle Offering

openshiftRed Hat's OpenShift platform as a service offering has been in public beta for a while now. It offers a fairly simple way for people to jumpstart "cloud" development efforts by abstracting out all the messy business of setting up application and database servers. Instead, you simply publish your source code to OpenShift, and their platform does the rest. Supported languages are those used heavily by nimble, agile startup types: PHP, Python, Ruby. Interestingly, OpenShift also supports Java. That's not a language that many people associate with cloud solutions. Today, Red Hat is announcing that they're improving their support of Java on OpenShift with support for "full Java lifecycle for developers".I spoke with Issac Roth, Red Hat's PaaS Master (a groovy title, if ever there was one) and Jason Anderson, from Red Hat's middleware team, about the announcement. According to Roth, OpenShift has always aimed to support those technologies used by open source developers -- usually the "P" in the LAMP stack, as well as Ruby. But Red Hat also wants to support enterprise developers, and wants to help enterprise developers get working on cloud solutions using their preferred language. They're doing that in a couple of ways, with today's announcement.
