This week we have been providing a preview of Red Hat submissions for the upcoming OpenStack Summit to be held October 27-30, in Tokyo, Japan. Today’s grab bag of submissions focus on containers the relationship between them and OpenStack as well as how to deploy, manage, secure, and operate workloads using them. This was already a hotbed of new ideas and discussion at the last summit in Vancouver and we expect things will only continue to heat up in this area as a result of recent announcements in the lead up to Tokyo!
