“If you look at the images that we have on Azure Marketplace, sixty percent of them are based on Linux,” Talal Alqinawi, senior director in Azure marketing, told TechRepublic recently.

Linux workloads on Azure began to outpace Windows Server VMs, both for customer’s own applications and for apps from ISVs. NET had to go open source and cross-platform or it was going to lose its customer base that also meant becoming a modular, agile project built on GitHub with the community, rather than a framework that shipped once every three to five years with a new version of Windows. Over time, Linux support at Microsoft became rather more enthusiastic, if no less pragmatic. In 2009, Microsoft and Red Hat announced that Microsoft would validate Red Hat Enterprise Linux on Windows Server 2008 and Hyper-V, Red Hat would validate Windows Server guests virtualised on Linux, and the companies would offer joint technical support to enterprise customers using the two operating systems together.

Microsoft was no doubt hoping to win over Linux users to the enterprise features in Windows Server, but customer support mattered too.

Instead, Microsoft adopts or supports Linux when the customers are there, or when it wants to take advantage of the ecosystem with open-source projects.īack in 2008, when Hyper-V was released, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server became the first non-Windows operating system officially supported (and ‘enlightened’ to improve performance) on Hyper-V - two years after Microsoft and Novell signed an agreement to work on interoperability and seven years after then-CEO Steve Ballmer infamously compared Linux licensing to “a cancer that attaches itself in an intellectual property sense to everything it touches”. Although the company is now thoroughly cross-platform, not every application will move to or take advantage of Linux.

We contribute source code to all of these environments.”īut forget the idea of throwing away the Windows kernel and replacing it with a Linux kernel, because Microsoft’s approach to Linux is far more pragmatic and comprehensive. “We have a deep understanding and engagement in both Linux and container communities. “Azure can provide best-in-class support for Linux and container infrastructure and I think this is because we have a deep understanding of what it takes to run Linux in a hyperscale cloud,” said Burns.

That’s not just the obvious ones like the Azure Kubernetes Service: Microsoft Tunnel - the VPN replacement for iOS and Android apps connecting to corporate resources on-premises through Azure AD - installs as a Docker container on a Linux server. Now Azure customers get the same hybrid benefits for Linux support contracts as they do for Windows Server licences Windows runs Linux binaries some key Microsoft applications are available on Linux and new services might be built with Linux.

Microsoft is submitting patches to the Linux kernel “to create a complete virtualisation stack with Linux and Microsoft hypervisor”. Microsoft is a member of not only the Linux Foundation but also the Linux kernel security mailing list (a rather more select community). ‘Microsoft and Linux’ should be a phrase we’re used to hearing by now.
