Wall Street Journal - Microsoft and Red Hat Reach Linux Deal
Microsoft Corp. and Red Hat Inc., longtime rivals from conflicting camps of the software industry, plan to collaborate in the cloud. The companies announced a partnership to make Red Hat's version of the Linux operating system available to users of Microsoft Azure, the software company's cloud service. Under the deal, Microsoft agreed to designate Red Hat's Linux as its "referred" option for enterprise-style computing jobs on Azure. In addition, personnel from both companies will work together in Redmond, Wash.—Microsoft's hometown–to offer technical support to customers... The deal's unusual joint technical support structure is designed to make sure customers get problems resolved without having to go back and forth between separate service teams, the companies said. Besides Linux, Microsoft plans to allow Azure users to take advantage of other Red Hat programs such as JBoss. Note: Subscription required for full article.

Network World - What's behind the odd couple Microsoft-Red Hat partnership
In a collaboration that would have been unthinkable just a few years ago, Microsoft – the purveyor of the mainstream and proprietary Windows OS – has partnered with Red Hat, the champion of an enterprise-class iteration of Linux... The meat and potatoes of this relationship is the ability to run Red Hat software – most notably its market leading Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) – on Microsoft Azure virtual machines... Initially, Red Hat's existing customer licenses will be eligible to be used on Azure, and within a couple months Azure customers will have an opportunity to spin up cloud-based versions of RHEL and pay for them as they are used, the companies said... "I think it's a big win for both companies but a bigger win for Red Hat since Microsoft is now 'all in' with their distribution and technologies," says Nicholas Gerasimatos, director of cloud services engineering at FICO, a big Red Hat user.
