Today, Red Hat and Microsoft announced a partnership to provide greater choice and flexibility deploying Red Hat solutions on Microsoft Azure. As a key component of today’s announcement, Microsoft is offering Red Hat Enterprise Linux as the preferred choice for enterprise Linux workloads on Microsoft Azure. Another area of the partnership is in expanding the use of .NET in Red Hat's products, including the OpenShift Enterprise platform-as-a-service offering.
Paul Cormier, Red Hat's president of Products and Technologies, released a blog posting today about this partnership. From the blog:
Both Red Hat and Microsoft are key players in this new, hybrid cloud reality. Today, it is incredibly likely that where you once found “Red Hat shops” and “Microsoft shops,” you’ll find heterogeneous environments that include solutions from both companies. We heard from customers and partners that they wanted our solutions to work together - with consistent APIs, frameworks, management, and platforms. They not only wanted Red Hat offerings on Microsoft Azure, they wanted to be able to build .NET applications on infrastructure powered by Red Hat Enterprise Linux, including OpenShift, Red Hat Enterprise Linux Atomic Host, and Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenStack Platform.
As customers move to a microservices architecture, I see a consistent enterprise platform and APIs for certified applications and container portability across physical, virtual, and private and public clouds becoming that much more important. Customers will want to be able to choose Microsoft Windows for Windows containers, and Red Hat Enterprise Linux Atomic Host and OpenShift for certified Red Hat Enterprise Linux containers unified by the common .NET framework.

Hellow mellow!
What's happening? What's going next? Microsoft Office for Red Hat?
Microsoft is now playing very trickily and trying to look bigger with other visible faces, they are more subtle blue and acting in an intrusive way as a Troy Horse. It's clear they have tons of money due to their destructive, predatory, unethical and illegal business ways. They think money can buy their enemies and make them their masters, then kill them. Look at what happened to most Microsoft partners and their massive company acquisition each year.
Red Hat had been shady these days, they acted very wrong by obfuscating Linux kernel patches and many other shit. Now this, they are sucking the demon's dick in a very passionately way!
It's time for a change, Red Hat ***OUGHT*** to be voucher. This is beyond the worst attitude of OpenSuse parent company and Canonical together.
The hat got too big and turned so black that is becoming a black hole. They are corrupt and against the FOSS community, they need to understand this us against the FOSS ecosystem.
If the real community of FOSS doesn't react, I'm foreseeing a very dark future in FOSS.
I'm sure they are extremely excited to buy an important company relevant of the Linux ecosystem. They'll do it eventually, let's see what happens and how the community reacts to this horrible shit! I hope people aren't getting stupid and passive with this, but I'm worried people get lazy and lose the rebellious attitude of FOSS.
Kind regards.
