At Red Hat Summit in San Francisco yesterday, Red Hat and Microsoft announced that they are expanding the two companies' partnerships, which began last year when Red Hat agreed to sell through Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) the Azure cloud of Microsoft.
Now Microsoft is reported to have begun a private preview of SQL Server 2016 software to distribute Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL). Thus, Microsoft's announcement states that SQL Server (which was traditionally Windows-only) comes to Linux.
Μάλιστα την περασμένη εβδομάδα, η Microsoft απέδειξε άλλο ένα βήμα ανάπτυξης σε αυτόν τον τομέα: την ικανότητα να τρέχει τον SQL Server μέσα σε ένα Linux container χρησιμοποιώντας το Docker Datacenter σε μια εικονική machine with Azure Stack cloud software.
"We will do it even without the cooperation of Red Hat," Mark Russinovich, chief technology officer at Microsoft Azure, told VB. "It is a fact that many companies use Red Hat. We released businesses when we made it available on Azure. ”
Η Microsoft ανακοίνωσε επίσης τις πρώτες κυκλοφορίες ανοιχτού κώδικα του .NET Core και του ASP.NET Core. Έτσι η Red Hat θα μπορέσει να επιταχύνει την procedure to be able to support .NET Core and ASP.NET Core on both RHEL and Red Hat OpenShift container-based platform-as-a-service (PaaS).
The partnership between Microsoft and Red Hat matches all the other partnerships the company has recently announced with its competitors, such as Box, Salesforce, and Canonical. Of course it will be a surprise if the company does not change its opinions about these collaborations.
