Windows and Linux have for years, been rival development and runtime environments used by two distinct development communities – .Net vs. J2EE.  But no one told the enterprise this. Both environments are commonly used by nearly all organizations to develop and execute the applications that run their businesses.

As applications are modernized, containerised and deployed across multiple clouds, IT and business leaders increasingly expect the IT vendors and service providers they use to do more than just coexist. They expect partnerships dedicated to customer success – and none more so than among the two leading vendors in each community, Microsoft and Red Hat.
