The document discusses the importance of Platform as a Service (PaaS) in enabling IT organizations to become more agile and responsive by automating application development processes. It highlights the benefits for developers, operations, architects, and buyers, emphasizing increased productivity, control over environments, and the ability to independently manage platform changes. It also introduces OpenShift as a key PaaS offering from Red Hat that supports various programming languages and enhances scalability.

5. Manufacturing as a Model for IT
Consolidated Aircraft B-24 Liberator
Incredibly sophisticated. ~500k parts,
assembled by unskilled labor.
No Mfg 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 … went from 250 planes a year to
650 planes a month.
THIS IS OUR CHALLENGE TODAY.
