Microsoft has adopted a strategic mix of organic and inorganic growth strategies, such as new product launches, and partnerships and agreements, in the application container market. In 2017, Microsoft announced support for Kubernetes in its Azure Container Service (AKS) to host application codes in containers. The company added 2 new pivotal features with this update: the ability to easily scale up and down Kubernetes clusters, and support for high-availability container setups with multiple masters. In line with the inorganic growth strategy, Microsoft and Red Hat expanded their strategic partnership to help enterprises easily adopt the application container technology. As per the partnership, Red Hat container services would support Microsoft services, such as native support for Windows Server containers on Red Hat OpenShift Container Platform, Red Hat OpenShift Dedicated on Microsoft Azure, and Structured Query Language (SQL) Server on Red Hat Enterprise Linux and OpenShift.
