What is a PaaS?
A Platform-as-a-Service runs on top of Infrastructureas-a-Service
Automation for deployment, management, and scaling
the cloud
Enables developers to focus on code
Different levels of control, automation and ease-of-use
Why use a PaaS?
Speed - deploy to cloud quickly
Automation - less scripts to write and maintain
Management versioning, rollbacks & upgrades
Monitoring - performance, logs and uptime
Auto-scaling on-demand resources
Introducing OpenShift
A free auto-scaling PaaS from Red Hat
Supports multiple frameworks, languages, middleware
and clouds
Fast on-ramp to the cloud...upload code and go!
OpenShift Express
Free-as-in-Beer app hosting

$ sudo mv ~Downloads/openshift.repo \
/etc/yum.repos.d/
> Install the client tools
$ sudo yum install rhc

Step 3: Create a Domain Name
> Use the rhc-create-domain command
$ rhc-create-domain -n mydomain -l openshiftlogin
> OR use the Express console
11
Step 4: Create an Application
> Name your app and define its type
$ rhc-create-app -a appname -t apptype -l openshiftlogin
> Add your app to the local Git repository
$ git add -A
> Commit your changes
$ git commit -a -m comment
