TOC Nomination - Clayton Coleman
Chris Wright
Red Hat would like to nominate Clayton Coleman <ccoleman@...>
to the CNCF TOC. Clayton is the Lead Architect on cloud orchestration and containers at Red Hat, in charge of both technical direction for Kubernetes and OpenShift (Red Hat's platform as a service built on top of Kubernetes) as well as the broader container and container content efforts at Red Hat. He guides the technical contributions of the large number of Red Hat engineers who contribute daily to open source projects in the cloud native space, including Docker, Mesos, Kubernetes, OpenStack, Rocket, and the underlying Linux kernel technologies that make them all possible. Individually, Clayton is the #2 contributor to Kubernetes and has been deeply involved in its evolution and development since it has been open sourced, and before that lead teams from Red Hat working to stabilize Docker and the underlying operating components it depends on to make containers a production reality. Previously at IBM, he gained deep insight into the care and feeding of some painfully complex enterprise applications, and he is empassioned to help build infrastructure that can run the simplest microservice or the most mission critical monolith. He is deeply committed to the success of the open source ecosystem that powers containerization, the Devops movement, and the tools that make cloud native real. Through OpenShift, Clayton has represented and been involved in advising many companies as they made their transition to automated and containerized application environments - realizing the benefits and helping identify the hidden pitfalls of modern infrastructure. That experience has helped inform the design of both Kubernetes and OpenShift - a focus on usability, approachability, and a deep understanding of the challenges facing today's IT organizations. While much attention has been paid to the infrastructure and projects that run and support micro- and macro- service architectures, a greater proportion of investment and evolution is needed still in the tools and processes that support developers building, testing, maintaining, and securing the software in cloud native environments - a transition Clayton has been leading within Red Hat through OpenShift and the communities it comprises. The industrialization of software is just beginning, and helping teams and organizations define and automate their development pipelines at scale (in clouds of all kinds) is a critical step in that progression. I support Clayton's nomination to the Cloud Native Computing Foundation's Technical Oversight Committee because of his great ability to work well within the community, provide technical leadership, and his germane experience both developing enterprise applications and modern cloud-native application infrastructure. thanks, -chris
