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.

    I keep wondering if it is really the case that nobody cares anymore. When I talk to other Linux people in person, they care a great deal. They are shocked at what happened with systemd, I wonder if Google has them all watching Youtube or if their ISPs are filtering content or something such that they don't find out about any of this stuff, at least not without a lot more work than it took before. Maybe they just think that nobody can hide anything in 2015 so they think they know everything already. Maybe the fact that so many apps are free allows them to think all is well in the software world and they need not be concerned. I can't explain it. One thing is for certain though: 2015 has been the worst year for Linux since I have been paying attention to it, and I have been paying attention since before kernel version 1.0. It has been the worst year despite probably having the greatest installed base, (and still growing,) of any year thus far.
