What is this product about? I clicked "Learn more" and was greeted by a sweet, juicy corporate-speak ( https://www.openshift.io/end-to-end.html ): Digital transformation is about evolving into a technology business in order to compete in the digital economy. Businesses can’t transform without relying on the developer to implement the transformation strategy and deliver value. Mmm... tasty!

I think with some stake-holdering it can synergize the democratization of orchestrated micro-services cloud.

That's old school, you didn't transform a single thing.

It's Redhat, whose focus has always been enterprise the money maker. Ever since it dumped the desktop years ago, I switched to the deb ecosystem and never looked back, do not want to have anything to do with Redhat,including this openshift thing, one reason is for the "dump-the-desktop"(please don't mention Fedora), another is that, DEB is so much better than RPM for my daily life.

Can't even sign up, not a great first impression for something that I will have to answer to my customers when it doesn't work, but it's free so I have no right to complain right?

Red Hat is to some extent protected from acquisition by the ideological poison pill. Because there's no IP (open source), the value of the company is basically the engineering talent, which enables the level of service Red Hat provides. Many of those engineers have very strong opinions about FOSS.

The second a Microsoft (or worse, an Oracle) tried to acquire Red Hat, a huge portion of that talent would walk out the door.

I wonder if there's a name for this: that impatience and discomfort you feel about anything new until you understand what it is exactly and what to compare it to.

Then they should have announced it when it was ready.

There is now openshift.com (enterprise), openshift.org (OSS), and openshift.io (???) and none of these websites do a great job of explaining why you should be on that website and not the others.

I have an OpenShift account and now I'm shown an "additional action needed" page on login. When i complete it and hit submit, it tells me that email already exists. Not at all pleasant :(

We've pushed a fix for this. Please give it another try.
