Full disclosure: the use-cases I am listing below come from
discussions I have had within Red Hat for what we would like to see
in Fedora that we can best build on to become Red Hat Enterprise
Linux 8. Please take this in the spirit it is given: I am
disclosing what Red Hat wants up front, so we aren't accused of
working towards hidden goals. I am also not committing us to
covering any or all of these targets. I do believe however that the
majority of these use-cases will be beneficial to both Fedora and
Red Hat.
* Provide a platform for acting as a node in an OpenStack rack. *
Provide a platform and simple setup for certain infrastructure
services, e.g. * FreeIPA Domain Controller * BIND DNS * DHCP *
Database server (both free and commercial). * Provide simple setup
of a file-server (on par with Windows). * Platform for deploying
web applications with high-value frameworks. * Ruby on Rails *
Django * Turbogears * Node.js * Make Fedora the best platform to
deploy JBoss applications. * Come up with standardized mechanisms
for centralized monitoring * Come up with standardized mechanisms
for centralized configuration and management * Simple enrollment
into FreeIPA and Active Directory domains * Provide the best
platform for secure application deployment * Isolation of OS from
applications * Isolation of applications from each other *
Isolation of application users from each other * Management of
application resource consumption * Simplify management and
deployment.[1] * Deliver the world's best leading edge DevOps
platform.
== My initial thoughts == I am open to counter-arguments,
naturally.
[1] Ideally, we want a mid-level Microsoft admin to be able to
manage Fedora without much learning curve.
There is a lot of content in this thread and much of it has been
summarized in
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Server/Use_Cases
I'd like to bring this discussion back around, because we're going to
want to trim this list and get it into shape to put into the PRD very
soon.
Please view the wiki link above and let's continue the discussion on
the various questions raised there. I'd like to hammer this into a
useful document before the next meeting.
