The document discusses the use of OpenShift on OpenStack, highlighting the transition from traditional application development to utilizing Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) models for greater agility and automation. It compares the traditional application building process with the PaaS approach, demonstrating a streamlined methodology for IT organizations. Additionally, it provides information on OpenShift's features, licensing, and community resources.

3. Consolidated B-24 Liberator
Incredibly sophisticated. ~500k parts, assembled
by unskilled labor.
No manufacturing process. Parts were cast in
rubber molds, so every part was slightly different.
Assembled in the heat of San Diego, which
warped the metal and required whole assemblies
to be adjusted.

Ford Motor Co. brought a manufacturing process
…
unit production went from 250 planes a year to
650 planes a month.
THIS IS OUR CHALLENGE TODAY
