Supporting Quotes
Chris Wright, senior vice president and chief technology officer, Red Hat
"As organizations continue to modernize and move away from legacy virtualization solutions, it is
critical to choose a secure computing foundation for the future that can adapt to their current and
evolving multi-infrastructure environments. Building upon our extensive history of collaboration and
joint engineering efforts with Microsoft Azure, Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization running on Azure Red
Hat OpenShift delivers more consistent orchestration for VMs and containers alike, setting
organizations on a clear path to modern application development and deployment."

Brendan Burns, corporate vice president, Azure Compute, Microsoft
“As customers modernize and move their apps from traditional virtual-machine-based fabrics that are
on-premises to modern Kubernetes platforms, some components still need to run on traditional
virtual machines for a while. To address this, Microsoft and Red Hat are collaborating to bring open-
source innovation from the KubeVirt project into Azure Red Hat OpenShift. What I’m most excited
about is how this enables customers to add virtualization capabilities to Azure Red Hat OpenShift,
which allows them to modernize at their own pace, and get the best return on investment as they
transition to the cloud.”
