Frequent Question: Does Azure Have Linux?
Contents

Azure supports common Linux distributions including Red Hat, SUSE, Ubuntu, CentOS, Debian, Oracle Linux, and Flatcar Linux. Create your own Linux virtual machines (VMs), deploy and run containers in Kubernetes, or choose from hundreds of pre-configured images and Linux workloads available in Azure Marketplace.

Is Azure Linux free?

If you’re running web apps on Linux, you now have an easy and free on-ramp with Azure App Service. The new, free tier for Linux applications is perpetually free, meaning it won’t expire after one month. It’s an easy and low-cost way to experiment and host your Linux-based web apps on App Service before fully investing.

Does Microsoft have Linux?

Microsoft adopts or supports Linux when the customers are there. ‘Microsoft and Linux’ should be a phrase we’re used to hearing by now. Microsoft is a member of not only the Linux Foundation but also the Linux kernel security mailing list (a rather more select community).
