We are very happy to announce the availability of a new solution to run the IBM WebSphere Application Server (Traditional) Network Deployment on Azure Linux Virtual Machines. The solution is jointly developed and supported by IBM and Microsoft. The solution enables easy migration of WebSphere workloads to Azure by automating most of the boilerplate resource provisioning tasks to set up a highly available cluster of WebSphere servers on Azure Virtual Machines. Evaluate the solution for full production usage and reach out to collaborate on migration cases. IBM and Microsoft Partnership The solution is part of a broader partnership between IBM and Microsoft to enable the WebSphere product portfolio on Azure. WebSphere products are key components in enabling enterprise Java workloads. The partnership aims to cover a range of use cases from mission critical existing traditional workloads to cloud-native applications. Offers target Open Liberty on Azure Red Hat OpenShift (ARO), WebSphere Liberty on ARO, WebSphere Application Server on Virtual Machines, Open Liberty on the Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), and WebSphere Liberty on AKS.

As part of the partnership, we previously released guidance for running WebSphere Liberty and Open Liberty on ARO in December, 2020. We also released guidance for running WebSphere Liberty and Open Liberty on AKS in March 2021.
