In a press and analyst briefing a few months back, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella put up a slide proclaiming \u201cMicrosoft \u2665 Linux\u201d.\u00a0 Wow!\u00a0 What a great slide and what a change for Microsoft!\u00a0 The trade press picked up on this slide in a major way, with a number of articles echoing this new approach to Linux and open source within Microsoft.\u00a0 And they\u2019re right!<\/p>\n

\"<\/a><\/p>\n

But you may ask \u201cWhy is Microsoft working with Linux and open source?\u201d, or \u201cWhat\u2019s Microsoft\u2019s plan going forward?\u201d, or \u201cWhat does \u2018Microsoft \u2665 Linux\u2019 mean for me as a customer?\u201d<\/p>\n

At the core, \u201cMicrosoft \u2665 Linux\u201d is driven by what we\u2019ve heard from you as customers.\u00a0 You run workloads on Windows.\u00a0 You run workloads on Linux.\u00a0\u00a0 You run these workloads in your on-premises datacenters, hosted at service providers, and in public clouds.\u00a0 You just want it all to work, and to work together regardless of the operating system.\u00a0 We hear you, and understand that your world is heterogeneous.\u00a0 Bottom line, this is a business opportunity for Microsoft to offer heterogeneous support — both Windows and Linux workloads \u2013 on-premises and in a public cloud.\u00a0 Microsoft can add real value in a heterogeneous cloud.<\/p>\n

It may come as a surprise, but Microsoft has been working with Linux for a number of years.\u00a0 System Center Operations Manager has offered Linux and UNIX monitoring since 2009.\u00a0\u00a0 Drivers for running Linux guests on Hyper-V became widely available for a number of distros in 2010, and we even have drivers for running FreeBSD guests on Hyper-V.\u00a0 Microsoft Azure offered Linux VMs on \u201cday 1\u201d of the Azure IaaS general availability in 2013.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve built a significant customer base that is using Linux with Microsoft products.\u00a0 Several hundred thousand Linux and UNIX servers in production usage today are managed by System Center, with the largest customers managing nearly 10,000 Linux servers. Customers such as Ancestry.com, Equifax, the United Kingdom government FCO Services, and Europcar operate Microsoft clouds on-premises running Hyper-V and System Center with many VMs running Linux.\u00a0 More than 20% of the VMs in Azure IaaS are running Linux.\u00a0 Azure is offering the HDInsight (Hadoop) service running on Linux in addition to running on Windows.\u00a0 And if you look more broadly, Microsoft offers key productivity software such as Office365, Skype, and RDP clients on Linux-based and BSD-based client operating systems such as iOS, Android, and Mac OS X.<\/p>\n

What does this all add up to?\u00a0 Working with Linux isn\u2019t new at Microsoft.\u00a0 In fact, Linux is already a sizable commitment for Microsoft that is now getting a higher public profile.\u00a0 We see executing on that commitment as a critical part of what we offer customers.<\/p>\n

Linux in your datacenter<\/b><\/p>\n

Microsoft is making huge investments in the foundational cloud technologies that are described in other entries in this blog series:\u00a0 Compute, Networking, and Storage.\u00a0 These investments are informed by our experience with the hyper-scale Azure public cloud.\u00a0 They are also independent of the guest operating system, so they work for both Windows and Linux.\u00a0 Great features like storage quality-of-service, network virtualization, and super-fast live migration using RDMA work for Linux just like they work for Windows.\u00a0 In the product development teams, when we envision and design new capabilities for the cloud foundation, we ask \u201cHow does this work for Windows?\u201d and<\/span> we ask \u201cHow does this work for Linux?\u201d\u00a0\u00a0 As a result, the Microsoft offering for on-premises datacenters is fundamentally heterogeneous, able to run Windows and Linux guests in a unified fashion.<\/p>\n

Of course, some capabilities require the cooperation of the guest OS.\u00a0 For these capabilities, Microsoft developers write the Linux device driver code for Hyper-V and participate in the Linux community to get the code into the upstream Linux kernel at kernel.org.\u00a0 Then we engage with distro vendors like Red Hat, Canonical, Oracle, and SUSE to enable full support on Hyper-V for these distros that you are probably running.\u00a0 As a result, Linux runs great on Hyper-V!<\/p>\n

We also invest in the management layer.\u00a0 We are announcing that the first version of Powershell Desired State Configuration (DSC) for Linux is now available.\u00a0With DSC for Linux, you can do consistent configuration management across Windows and Linux.\u00a0 On Linux you can install packages, configure files, create users & groups, and set up services.\u00a0\u00a0 DSC for Linux is also an open source project, available on GitHub.<\/p>\n

Our enterprise management functionality in System Center Operations Manager, Configuration Manager, Virtual Machine Manager, and Data Protection Manager manages Linux right alongside Windows so that you can have a single systems management infrastructure for your heterogeneous datacenter.\u00a0\u00a0 We\u2019ve taken System Center management beyond just the Linux operating system, and into open source middleware such as Tomcat, JBoss, Apache Web Server, and MySQL. \u00a0Also, we have extended our hybrid services to include Linux — for example, Azure Site Recovery between on-premises datacenters (or service providers) and Azure.<\/p>\n

Linux in Microsoft Azure <\/b><\/p>\n

As we\u2019re doing for the on-premises datacenter, Microsoft is making huge investments in the Azure public cloud.\u00a0 Again, our goal is that everything in Azure works for Linux VMs just like it works for Windows VMs.\u00a0 Capabilities like the huge \u201cG\u201d series VM sizes, Premium Storage, and Azure Backup for VMs are available for both Windows and Linux, as is a range of extensions for custom scripting, regaining access, and OS patching.\u00a0 Some capabilities, such as integration with Docker, Chef, and other open source projects, are available to you on Linux before they are available on Windows.<\/p>\n

Azure offers a range of enterprise-ready Linux distros in Azure:\u00a0 SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, openSUSE, Ubuntu Linux, Oracle Linux, and Core OS, as well as community distro such as CentOS.\u00a0 Or you can upload your own custom Linux image.<\/p>\n

If you are consuming Azure services, you want flexibility to access those services from a Windows computer, or from a Linux or Mac OS X computer.\u00a0 For starters, you\u2019ve probably used the Azure portal, which is an HTML5 web application that works in browsers running on Windows as well as browsers on Linux and Mac OS X.\u00a0 But as your usage progresses, you may want to integrate Azure into your operational processes.\u00a0 On Windows, Powershell is the primary scripting and automation interface.\u00a0\u00a0 For Linux and Mac OS X (and Windows), Azure offers a node.js-based package of commands for scripting and automating the full lifecycle of Azure services.<\/p>\n

In Azure datacenters, Microsoft personnel are now operating PaaS services based on Linux as well as services based on Windows.\u00a0 The HDInsight (Hadoop) service is the first to be available on Linux, and it makes good business sense for other services using \u201cborn on Linux\u201d open source projects to just run on Linux rather than being ported to Windows.\u00a0 Internal tools for monitoring, diagnosing, patching, and meeting compliance requirements have been extended to include these Linux-based services.<\/p>\n

Summary<\/b><\/p>\n

Microsoft is doing a lot of work with Linux \u2013 for on-premises datacenters and services providers, as well as in the Azure public cloud.\u00a0 We know you run workloads on both Windows and Linux.\u00a0 We\u2019ve made running and managing Linux workloads a fundamental part of our product offering so that the result is well integrated and just works. \u00a0Go to www.microsoft.com\/open<\/a> to learn more about the investments we\u2019re making.\u00a0 Remember, \u201cMicrosoft \u2665 Linux\u201d!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
