Microsoft Linux distributions
Linux distributions from Microsoft include a project known as Azure Cloud Switch (ACS) [1] released[citation needed] in 2015. The software was built in response to address customers who often need a Linux system running alongside Windows-based servers.[2] With the support for SQL Server for Linux, Microsoft itself required internal Linux support, which uses its own distributions for this purpose.[3]
In the past, Microsoft has strategically excluded any support for Linux due to it being a competitor operating system. However, as its partners have gradually embraced multiple technologies, the partnership became inevitable, where Canonical Ltd., backer of Ubuntu was hired in to provide support in the area, by providing a system to run Ubuntu natively on Windows 10.[4]
SONIC
Software for Open Networking in the Cloud (SONIC) is a Debian-based Linux distribution by Microsoft whose source code was released on March 9 2016. The operating system is designed to be ran on network devices such as network switches. [5]
