Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella Comes to Red Hat Summit

This has nothing to do with the article. This is about openshift, not linux (albiet, openshift runs on linux).

They seem to be embracing openshift as a prominent k8s distro on their cloud, which I think is interesting. Instead of attempting to create their own EKS type service, they're providing an openshift platform.

Azure already has AKS, the equivalent of EKS: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/aks/

Good to know. I'm not well versed on Azure. Interesting that they want to support both. They most sense some kind of demand ontop of openshift.

I see this move as Microsoft not being convinced that backing k8s is the best strategy at the moment. Also, Openshift and Red Hat are "closer" to enterprise IT and therefore a good chance to capture "containerization" opportunities in large IT orgs.

Red Hat is owned by IBM. Just trying to understand, IBM Cloud, Azure, Openshift, AKS, k8s together in this "octagon".
