Perry Myers joined Red Hat in May 2007 as a developer working on
virtualization technologies. He was one of the original founders of the
oVirt project (in its first incarnation) and led the team developing a
lightweight KVM hypervisor distribution based on Fedora called oVirt Node.
Following the work on oVirt, Perry stepped into an engineering
management role with teams focused on the components that make up cloud
infrastructures (including oVirt Node, libvirt and most recently
OpenStack engineering at Red Hat). In addition, Perry also has
responsibility for high availability products (Pacemaker, RHEL High
Availability/Load Balancer). His current focus is on ensuring that
OpenStack is ready for enterprise-wide deployment for Red Hat's
customers and partners.
Perry continues to be involved in upstream communities and serves as a
member of the board for the oVirt project through his oversight of the
oVirt Node sub-project.
Prior to his roles at Red Hat, Perry worked as a researcher and software
engineer on several government research projects (in the areas of
intelligence analysis and security) for defense contractors like General
Dynamics Advanced Information Systems and BAE.
