Red Hat Launching Its Own Community Distro of OpenStack 25
darthcamaro writes "Red Hat still doesn't have a fully supported commercial version of OpenStack in the market yet (coming this summer) as it lags behind Ubuntu and SUSE. But Red Hat is doing something no other distro vendor has done, they are launching a brand new bleeding edge build of OpenStack that will update weekly (or faster). The best part? This isn't a fork. It's all upstream work, meaning everyone in the OpenStack Community benefits. From the article: '"Our developers will continue to work in the upstream OpenStack, and "whenever we find we need to make changes to make RDO work, we get that work done upstream first," Red Hat CTO Brian Stevens said. "RDO won't change in any way our active involvement in the upstream OpenStack development."'

In all honesty, if you're savvy enough to be running any *nix, you should be hiring people savvy enough so as to obviate the need for paid support. From what I hear, the paid support is not that good.
I've been in IT for going on 15 years, and I've never, ever been happy with anyone's paid support. In general, I can find the answer on Google or YouTube quicker than I can get an answer from the tech support.
