Red Hat and Microsoft are embarking on a joint effort to deliver Windows Server container support commercially within Red Hat OpenShift, moving us from project to fully supported product. With this work, users will be able to orchestrate and schedule Windows containers within Red Hat OpenShift using the same tooling and management used with Linux containers.

Given that many companies are still wrapping their arms around the potential of container technology and how to best leverage it, there is still a lot of experimentation with containers. Developers are working in their own sandboxes, setting them up on their laptops and then putting them into production. The issue, though, is that if containers are done without security measures in mind, you may not have the agility you want with the right controls.

Stefan Mikulas, DevOps team manager, shares why he chose to work at Red Hat. "Several months back, I had to choose my next career step. After seven years in an international security company, I decided to move along and find the next adventure for me. We are all individuals who seek different values when considering a new job. For me, the top priorities were company culture, chance to make an impact, ability to innovate."
