Microsoft and Red Hat join hands so that Red Hat Enterprise Linux will finally be able to run on Microsoft Azure, as revealed by Microsoft in a blog post to confirm the could pact. Customer interest of many years has finally brought Azure and Windows together to build an even better cloud.
The partnership between Microsoft and Red Hat came from the desire to bring a solution to businesses seeking to combine existing on-premises investments with a cloud environment for better speed, scale and cost benefits. Microsoft and Red Hat thus bring their own hybrid cloud.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux is an open source operating system that is often used by big companies that require the use of software officially supported by their provider, and Microsoft is pitching Microsoft Azure as the best cloud for big companies and their computing and storage tasks.
Red Hat and JBOSS, their middleware software will be officially available on Microsoft Azure as of the next couple of weeks, and it will be supported by both companies, who will also be working together to unite their development environments and make sure that customers running either or both technologies can manage them in a centralized manner.
