OpenShift Origin is a cloud application platform as a service (PaaS). It is the open sourced, community supported version of OpenShift

OpenShift is Red Hat's Cloud Computing Platform as a Service (PaaS) offering. OpenShift is an application platform in the cloud where application developers and teams can build, test, deploy, and run their applications.

OpenShift Origin takes care of all the infrastructure, middleware, and management and allows the developer to focus on what they do best: designing and coding applications.

Benefit to Fedora

OpenShift Origin will bring a Platform As A Service(PAAS) infrastructure to Fedora. PAAS is an emerging technology and bringing OpenShift Origin to Fedora will allow Fedora to continue to be a leader in innovation.

Dependencies

• rubygem-mongo

Contingency Plan
