IBM should not rebrand bad products as Red Hat (redwashing? hatwashing?). Maybe Red Hat could come up with a better public cloud than IBM but that would be a long-term project.

Red Hat already has a public cloud offering, it's called OpenShift Online: https://www.openshift.com/products/online/

It doesn't seem to be very successful, which is understandable since Red Hat is historically an on-premise software company, and a very successful one too. Internally they probably view Online as a sales enablement tool.

Since Openshift is already Red Hat's big bet to keep growing, presumably if they were willing and able to make OpenShift Online a major success, they would have done it by now.
