As a key component of today\u2019s announcement, Microsoft is offering Red Hat Enterprise Linux as the preferred choice for enterprise Linux workloads on Microsoft Azure.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, Microsoft and Red Hat are also working together to address common enterprise, ISV and developer needs for building, deploying and managing applications on Red Hat software across private and public clouds.<\/p>\n<p>Key elements of the partnership include the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Red Hat solutions available natively to Microsoft Azure customers. <\/strong>In the coming weeks, Microsoft Azure will become a Red Hat Certified Cloud and Service Provider, enabling customers to run their Red Hat Enterprise Linux applications and workloads on Microsoft Azure. Red Hat Cloud Access subscribers will be able to bring their own virtual machine images to run in Microsoft Azure. Microsoft Azure customers can also take advantage of the full value of Red Hat\u2019s application platform, including Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform, Red Hat JBoss Web Server, Red Hat Gluster Storage and OpenShift, Red Hat\u2019s platform-as-a-service offering. In the coming months, Microsoft and Red Hat plan to provide Red Hat On-Demand \u2014 \u201cpay-as-you-go\u201d Red Hat Enterprise Linux images available in the Azure Marketplace, supported by Red Hat.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Integrated enterprise-grade support spanning hybrid environments. <\/strong>Customers will be offered cross-platform, cross-company support spanning the Microsoft and Red Hat offerings in an integrated way, unlike any previous partnership in the public cloud. By co-locating support teams on the same premises, the experience will be simple and seamless, at cloud speed.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Unified workload management across hybrid cloud deployments. <\/strong>Red Hat CloudForms will interoperate with Microsoft Azure and Microsoft System Center Virtual Machine Manager, offering Red Hat CloudForms customers the ability to manage Red Hat Enterprise Linux on both Hyper-V and Microsoft Azure. Support for managing Azure workloads from Red Hat CloudForms is expected to be added in the next few months, extending the existing System Center capabilities for managing Red Hat Enterprise Linux.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Collaboration on .NET for a new generation of application development capabilities. <\/strong>Expanding on the preview of .NET on Linux announced by Microsoft in April, developers will have access to .NET technologies across Red Hat offerings, including Red Hat OpenShift and Red Hat Enterprise Linux, jointly backed by Microsoft and Red Hat. Red Hat Enterprise Linux will be the primary development and reference operating system for .NET Core on Linux.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>\u201cThis partnership is a powerful win for enterprises, ISVs and developers,\u201d said Scott Guthrie, executive vice president for Microsoft\u2019s Cloud and Enterprise division. \u201cWith this partnership, we are expanding our commitment to offering unmatched choice and flexibility in the cloud today, meeting customers where they are so they can do more with their hybrid cloud deployments \u2014 all while fulfilling the rigorous security and scalability requirements that enterprises demand.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe datacenter is heterogeneous, and the cloud is hybrid,\u201d said Paul Cormier, president, Products and Technologies, Red Hat. \u201cWith Red Hat and the leader in enterprise cloud workloads joining forces, our customers are the winners today, as we unite on common solutions to help them solve challenges in this hybrid cloud.
