SAN FRANCISCO — Microsoft intends to go to market in the cloud business with pretty much everyone who’s everyone. Today at the Microsoft Cloud Briefing event, executives announced support for the hip CoreOS Linux operating system and Cloudera’s distribution of the Hadoop open-source software.
The move comes following Microsoft’s show of support for the Docker container technology for easily packaging up and moving applications from one server environment to another. And the announcement also follows Microsoft’s move to partner up with Hadoop distribution provider Hortonworks.
