Azure API Management Self-hosted Gateway for Openshift - openshift

Does MS offer Azure API Management Self-hosted Gateway version specifically certified to deploy on Openshift.
I have noticed that many vendors provide product version that is enterprise tested and certified to deploy on Openshift PaaS.
Thanks

Can we use release pipeline to deploy app on clients on-premises server?

I am just wondering if we can use the Release pipeline service to deploy the build on our clients' on-prem servers or the services are restricted to use within the organization?
Can we use release pipeline to deploy app on client's on-premises server?
Yes.
If you are using the classic UI release pipeline, firstly, you need to create a deployment group on your client's on-premises server and use it in your release pipeline.
Then you can use some tasks to deploy, such as IIS Web App Deploy task, Copy Files task.
If you are using the yaml pipeline, you need to create a self-hosted agent on client's on-premises server.
You can click Self-hosted Windows agents for creating Windows agents, Self-hosted Linux agents for Linux and Self-hosted macOS agents for macOS.
The following steps are similar to those in the classic UI pipeline.

Can we use Azure SSIS IR runtime to move data from on-premise to Azure Sql Database?

I am new to Azure. I have a requirement to move data from on-premise to Azure SQL database. However, I have to use/execute the existing SSIS packages on Azure. I am thinking of using SSIS IR for executing SSIS packages. With this IR, is it also possible to move data from on-premise to Cloud or do I need a self hosted IR as well?
Thanks!
is it also possible to move data from on-premise to Cloud
Yes but you need to join the SSIS-IR to a VNET which in turn has connectivity to on prem.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/data-factory/join-azure-ssis-integration-runtime-virtual-network
VNET connectivity to on prem is achieved with a VPN or Express link from on prem to your VNET. There are varying degrees of complexity.
If you are going to undertake a lot of hybrid network projects (on prem joined to Azure) you should begin provisioning a VPN or Express route now.
According to the official document:
Self-hosted IR:
You can connect to the on-premise SQL Server via Self-hosted IR in Azure Data Factory. You can set up a Copy activity in ADF to copy data from on-premise db to Azure SQL.
You will need to install Self-hosted IR on an on-premises machine or a virtual machine inside a private network.
It has high availability and scalability, you can install Self-hosted IR on multiple compute nodes and form a group.
Azure-SSIS Integration Runtime:
To lift and shift existing SSIS workload, you can create an Azure-SSIS IR to natively execute SSIS packages.
You need to do:
Deploy SSIS packages to Azure.
Create an Azure-SSIS integration runtime in data factory.
Pricing:
Self-hosted integration runtime princing.
SQL Server Integration Services Pricing
After comparing prices, we can see SSIS IR is more expensive than Self-hosted IR.
Conclusion:
I suggest you to use Self-hosted IR directly, it is simpler, more convenient and cheaper.

How can I use msdeploy in GitHub Actions with Cloud Runners?

I am setting up continuous deployment in Windows and it works with self-hosted runner as I have installed Web Deploy in my server but how can I access it using cloud runners?

Is there a defined simple process to upgrade Google Cloud Installed Software?

Google Cloud installed software through Google Cloud Launcher seems not to have a simple defined update or upgrade process. New customers are offered latest versions of software (Debian 9, Apache 2.4.25, Open JDK 1.8.0 etc.) but we old ones are not being guided about how to upgrade to those new versions. We, old customers, seem condemned to have additional resources to search, evaluate, test and deploy new versions of the software deployed by Google Cloud Launcher, or stay with the old most inefficient and probably unsafe software version (Debian 7, Apache 2.2, JDK 1.7.0 etc.). But there is another option: Migrate to Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud where upgrading software is supported: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/managing-software.html. Amazon Web Services does update the repositories: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSEC2/latest/UserGuide/add-repositories.html and of course, provides a process to update the installed software. Does Google Cloud offer an upgrading process or is planning anything in that direction, or should we users low in resources plan to move to Amazon Cloud?

SQL Server Integration Services Login Failure

I noticed an error in my event log today that states:
The SQL Server Integration Services 10.0 service failed to start due
to the following error: The service did not start due to a logon
failure.
The service is configured to use ./sqluser but I cannot find this login with the domain.
What exactly is this services used for? What login should I be using for this service and what rights/privileges does the user need for this service to function properly. I am using SQL 2008 under Windows Server 2008 r2.
What exactly is this services used for
Managing Integration Services
Microsoft SQL Server Integration Services includes the Integration
Services service, a Windows service for managing Integration Services
packages. The Integration Services service is available only in SQL
Server Management Studio.
Running the Integration Services service provides the following
management capabilities:
Starting remote and locally stored packages
Stopping remote and locally running packages
Monitoring remote and locally running packages
Importing and exporting packages
Managing package storage
Customizing storage folders
Stopping running packages when the service is stopped
Viewing the Windows Event log
Connecting to multiple Integration Services servers
The Integration Services service is installed when you install the
Integration Services component of SQL Server. By default, the
Integration Services service is started and the startup type of the
service is set to automatic. The service must be running to monitor
the packages that are stored in the SSIS Package Store. The SSIS
Package Store can be either the msdb database in an instance of SQL
Server or the designated folders in the file system.
The Integration Services service is not required if you only want to
design and execute Integration Services packages. However, the service
is required to list and monitor packages using SQL Server Management
Studio.
What login should I be using for this service and what rights/privileges
Managing the Integration Services Service
By default, the Integration Services service runs in the context of
the NETWORK SERVICE account.
I have not found a simplified list of what is required for the service to run correctly but this article describes how to connect to a remote SSIS service.
I'll keep browsing MSDN articles
