Interview: Red Hat on Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization (Montana Linux)Interview: Red Hat on Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization (Montana Linux)Posted Nov 19, 2009 22:21 UTC (Thu) by paravoid (subscriber, #32869)In reply to: Interview: Red Hat on Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization (Montana Linux) by drag Parent article: Interview: Red Hat on Red Hat Enterprise Virtualization (Montana Linux)
Oh you misunderstood.
Having the biggest commercial Linux vendor ship a product with a closed-source Microsoft-based management interface is bad, clearly.
What I'm saying is that a Java/JBoss-based interface for system administration doesn't sound ideal to me either, even if it is cross-platform and open-source.
I think they've gone too enterprise-y to see the point...
[oh and the irony is that, afaik, their current product is based on .NET technologies; if they haven't been so anti-Mono, they would probably have been able to make it cross platform without rewriting it from scratch...]

It think it would be fairer to say that Red Hat is anti-patent liability exposure and Mono is viewed as a poor liability risk. I think the political landscape concerning Mono would look very different today if spectre of software patent liability didn't exist.
And in that light, I think its very important for customers and potential customers who are interested in the SPICE protocals to put pressure on Red Hat to get the patents that cover SPICE into the OIN portfolio.

What is also funny is that the virtualization tools at et.redhat.com are mostly Ruby/RoR based.
Why are they not just putting more ressources into libvirt, oVirt, Deltacloud and al.?

It is not, either or, it is both. These tools serve a different purpose. The management tool was part of Qumranet acquisition.
Nothing wrong with it Posted Nov 21, 2009 22:33 UTC (Sat) by man_ls (subscriber, #15091) [Link] JBoss is actually a very nice server. You can deploy an enterprise n-layered application based on EJBs and JSF, but you can also put together a few quick-and-dirty JSP pages. Or an intermediate thing with Spring or Struts. The nice thing is that it scales very well through the whole spectrum.
