This document discusses strategies for success in the cloud over the next decade. It outlines Red Hat's hybrid cloud solutions, including OpenShift Platform-as-a-Service, JBoss Enterprise Middleware, and CloudForms hybrid cloud management. These solutions allow consistent environments across on-premise and certified cloud providers, delivering service level agreements without vendor lock-in. The document also discusses how Platform-as-a-Service enables more agile application development compared to traditional infrastructure models.
