How Microsoft is becoming a Linux vendor
|
||||
=====================================
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
>Microsoft is bridging the gap with Linux by baking it into its own products.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Linux and open source technologies have become too dominant in data centers, cloud and IoT for Microsoft to ignore them.
|
||||
|
||||
On Microsoft’s own cloud, one in three machines run Linux. These are Microsoft customers who are running Linux. Microsoft needs to support the platform they use, or they will go somewhere else.
|
||||
|
||||
Here's how Microsoft's Linux strategy breaks down on its developer platform (Windows 10), on its cloud (Azure) and datacenter (Windows Server).
|
||||
|
||||
**Linux in Windows**: IT professionals managing Linux machines on public or private cloud need native UNIX tooling. Linux and macOS are the only two platforms that offer such native capabilities. No wonder all you see is MacBooks or a few Linux desktops at events like DockerCon, OpenStack Summit or CoreOS Fest.
|
||||
|
||||
To bridge the gap, Microsoft worked with Canonical to build a Linux subsystem within Windows that offers native Linux tooling. It’s a great compromise, where IT professionals can continue to use Windows 10 desktop while getting to run almost all Linux utilities to manage their Linux machines.
|
||||
|
||||
**Linux in Azure**: What good is a cloud that can’t run fully supported Linux machines? Microsoft has been working with Linux vendors that allow customers to run Linux applications and workloads on Azure.
|
||||
|
||||
Microsoft not only managed to sign deals with all three major Linux vendors Red Hat, SUSE and Canonical, it also worked with countless other companies to offer support for community-based distros like Debian.
|
||||
|
||||
**Linux in Windows Server**: This is the last missing piece of the puzzle. There is a massive ecosystem of Linux containers that are used by customers. There are over 900,000 Docker containers on Docker Hub, which can run only on Linux machines. Microsoft wanted to bring these containers to its own platform.
|
||||
|
||||
At DockerCon, Microsoft announced support for Linux containers on Windows Server bringing all those containers to Linux.
|
||||
|
||||
Things are about to get more interesting, after the success of Bash on Ubuntu on Windows 10, Microsoft is bringing Ubuntu bash to Windows Server. Yes, you heard it right. Windows Server will now have a Linux subsystem.
|
||||
|
||||
Rich Turner, Senior Program Manager at Microsoft told me, “WSL on the server provides admins with a preference for *NIX admin scripting & tools to have a more familiar environment in which to work.”
|
||||
|
||||
Microsoft said in an announcement that It will allow IT professionals “to use the same scripts, tools, procedures and container images they have been using for Linux containers on their Windows Server container host. These containers use our Hyper-V isolation technology combined with your choice of Linux kernel to host the workload while the management scripts and tools on the host use WSL.”
|
||||
|
||||
With all three bases covered, Microsoft has succeeded in creating an environment where its customers don't have to deal with any Linux vendor.
|
||||
|
||||
### What does it mean for Microsoft?
|
||||
|
||||
By baking Linux into its own products, Microsoft has become a Linux vendor. They are part of the Linux Foundation, they are one of the many contributors to the Linux kernel, and they now distribute Linux from their own store.
|
||||
|
||||
There is only one minor problem. Microsoft doesn’t own any Linux technologies. They are totally dependent on an external vendor, in this case Canonical, for their entire Linux layer. Too risky a proposition, if Canonical gets acquired by a fierce competitor.
|
||||
|
||||
It might make sense for Microsoft to attempt to acquire Canonical and bring the core technologies in house. It makes sense.
|
||||
|
||||
### What does it mean for Linux vendors
|
||||
|
||||
On the surface, it’s a clear victory for Microsoft as its customers can live within the Windows world. It will also contain the momentum of Linux in a datacenter. It might also affect Linux on the desktop as now IT professionals looking for *NIX tooling don’t have to run Linux desktop, they can do everything from within Windows.
|
||||
|
||||
Is Microsoft's victory a loss for traditional Linux vendors? To some degree, yes. Microsoft has become a direct competitor. But the clear winner here is Linux.

微软如何正在成为一个 Linux 供应商
|
||||
=====================================
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
>微软通过将 Linux 融入自己的产品中来弥合与 Linux 的差距。
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Linux 以及开源技术在数据中心、云以及 IoT 中变得如此主流以至于微软无法忽视他们。
|
||||
|
||||
在微软自己的云中，三分之一的机器运行着 Linux。这些是运行 Linux 的微软客户。微软需要支持他们使用的平台，否则他们将到别处去了。
|
||||
|
||||
以下就是微软如何在它的开发者平台 （Windows 10）、云 （Azure） 以及数据中心 （Windows Server） 打破 Linux 策略的。
|
||||
|
||||
**Windows 中的 Linux：** IT 专家管理公共或者私有 Linux 机器需要原生的 UNIX 工具。Linux 以及 macOS 是仅有的二个提供原生能力的平台。难怪你在各种会议如 DockerCon、OpenStack Summit 或者 CoreOS Fest 看到的都是 MacBook 或者少量的 Linux 桌面。
|
||||
|
||||
为了弥补差距，微软与 Canonical 协作在 Windows 内部构建了一个 Linux 子系统，它提供了原生的 Linux 工具。这是一个很棒的妥协，这样 IT 专家可以继续使用 Windows 10 桌面的同时能够使用大多数 Linux 工具来管理他们的 Linux 机器。
|
||||
|
||||
**Azure 中的 Linux：** 不能完整支持 Linux 的云有什么好呢？微软一直以来与 Linux 供应商合作来使客户能够在 Azure 中运行 Linux 程序以及负载。
|
||||
|
||||
微软不仅与三家主要的 Linux 供应商 Red Hat、SUSE 和 Canonical 签署了协议，还与无数的其他公司合作，为 Debian提 供了基于社区的发行版的支持。
|
||||
|
||||
**Windows Server 中的 Linux：** 这是剩下的最后一块披萨。客户使用的 Linux 容器是一个巨大的生态系统。Docker Hub 上有超过 90 万个 Docker 容器，它们只能在 Linux 机器上运行。微软希望把这些容器带到自己的平台上。
|
||||
|
||||
在 DockerCon 中，微软宣布在 Windows Server 中支持 Linux 容器，将这些容器都带到 Linux 中。
|
||||
|
||||
事情正变得更加有趣，在 Windows 10 上的 Bash 成功之后，微软正将 Ubuntu bash 带到 Windows Server 中。是的，你听的没错。Windows Server 将会有一个 Linux 子系统。
|
||||
|
||||
微软的高级项目经理 Rich Turne 告诉我：“服务器上的 WSL 为管理员提供了 *UNIX 管理脚本和工具的偏好，以便有更熟悉的工作环境。”
|
||||
|
||||
微软在一个通告中称它将允许 IT 专家 “使用他们在 Windows Server 容器主机上为 Linux 容器使用的相同的脚本，工具，流程和容器镜像。这些容器使用我们的 Hyper-V 隔离技术结合你选择的 Linux 内核来托管负载，而主机上的管理脚本以及工具使用 WSL。”
|
||||
|
||||
在覆盖了上面三个情况后，微软已经成功地创建了一个客户不必选择任何 Linux 供应商的环境。
|
||||
|
||||
### 它对微软意味着什么？
|
||||
|
||||
通过将 Linux 融入它自己的产品，微软已经成为了一个 Linux 供应商。它们是 Linux 基金会的一部分，它们是众多 Linux 贡献者之一，并且它们现在在自己的商店中分发 Linux。
|
||||
|
||||
还有一个小问题。微软没有拥有任何 Linux 技术。它们完全依赖于外部的厂家，目前 Canonical 是完全的 Linux 层厂商。如果 Canonical 被强力的竞争对手收购，那会是一个很大的风险。
|
||||
|
||||
或许对微软而言尝试收购 Canonical 是有意义的，并且会将核心技术收入囊中。这是有道理的。
|
||||
|
||||
### 这对 Linux 供应商意味着什么
|
||||
|
||||
表面上，很显然这对微软是个胜利，因为它的客户可以在 Windows 世界中存留。它还将包含 Linux 在数据中心中的势头。它或许还会影响 Linux 桌面，由于现在 IT 专家不必为了寻找 *NIX 工具使用 Linux 桌面了，它们可以在 Windows 中做任何事。
|
||||
|
||||
微软的成功是传统 Linux 厂家的失败么？某种程度上来说，是的，微软已经成为了一个直接竞争者。但是这里明显的赢家是 Linux。
