Hello Good People - We currently have multiple Tomcat instances deployed on RHEL in production with no issues but I am getting asked why we shouldn't migrate everything to run on Windows 2008 R2 Server instead. My stomach churns at the thought
Aside from the fact it's 7 years old and it's already past mainstream end of life and is only in extended support at this time?

but I am looking for more concrete information about why this could be problematic vs. running Tomcat on RHEL/CentOS. My gut says far more Tomcat deployments in production are done on top of Linux based OS's vs. Windows. Any thoughts on making an argument for one OS vs another in deploying Tomcat 8? Thanks for your thoughts, Jason
