This has nothing to do with the article. This is about openshift, not linux (albiet, openshift runs on linux).
They seem to be embracing openshift as a prominent k8s distro on their cloud, which I think is interesting. Instead of attempting to create their own EKS type service, they're providing an openshift platform.
- nax99 7y agoI'm sure there are no other deals between MSFT, RedHat and IBM. The timing to pressure Linus into "approving" the CoC (MSFT is Platinum sponsor of the Linux Foundation) also fits well into the embrace/destruct-or-take-over strategy.

- linuxftw 7y agoGood to know. I'm not well versed on Azure. Interesting that they want to support both. They most sense some kind of demand ontop of openshift.
- simonebrunozzi 7y agoI see this move as Microsoft not being convinced that backing k8s is the best strategy at the moment. Also, Openshift and Red Hat are "closer" to enterprise IT and therefore a good chance to capture "containerization" opportunities in large IT orgs.
- amolo 7y agoRed Hat is owned by IBM. Just trying to understand, IBM Cloud, Azure, Openshift, AKS, k8s together in this "octagon".
