Now Microsoft has reportedly begun a private preview of its SQL software Server & Hosting 2016 για τη διανομή του Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL). So Microsoft's announcement says that SQL Server (which was traditionally Windows-only) is coming to Linux.
Last week, Microsoft demonstrated another development step in this area: the ability to run SQL Server within a Linux container using the Docker Datacenter on a Azure Stack cloud-based virtual machine.
"We're going to do it even without Red Hat's cooperation," Mark Russinovich, CEO, told VB. technology της Microsoft Azure. “Είναι γεγονός ότι πολλές επιχειρήσεις χρησιμοποιούν Red Hat. Εμείς αποδεσμεύσαμε επιχειρήσεις όταν το κάναμε διαθέσιμο στο Azure. ”
Microsoft also announced its first open release .NET Core and ASP.NET Core. So Red Hat will be able to speed up the process to support .NET Core and ASP.NET Core both in RHEL and the OpenShift OpenShift platform-as-a-service (PaaS) Red Hat software.
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.
