Mirantis, the open cloud company, announced support of Microsoft Azure as an infrastructure provider option for Mirantis Container Cloud, increasing the number of choices for customers looking to host their applications across both private and public data centers.
The addition of Microsoft Azure provides additional choices for customers hosting data in the public cloud, allowing them to optimize cost, performance or other factors across multiple infrastructure providers.
“By supporting Microsoft Azure, our customers can now seamlessly move their workloads across private and multiple public cloud infrastructures, without getting tied up in the details of each specific implementation,” said Shaun O’Meara, field CTO of Mirantis. “Mirantis has simplified the technical domain their IT team has to operate within.”
Microsoft Azure is another option that Mirantis customers have to deploy their workloads, in addition to Amazon AWS, VMware vSphere, Equinix Metal, OpenStack, and Bare Metal.
