@ 2016/06/25Software king of the world Microsoft has made a killing by enabling its Azure virtual machines to run Linux.
When Vole started the service 25 percent of its Virtual Machines were running Linux and now it is nearly one in three.
During his keynote at DockerCon 2016 in Seattle, Azure Chief Technology Officer Mark Russinovich said that Microsoft was adding more container support to its cloud and server products.
Russinovich showed off Windows Server support coming soon to the company’s Azure Container Service (ACS) while everyone yawned.
Microsoft made Azure Container Service generally available in April 2016, but for Linux containers only. Last year, company execs said Microsoft also would bring Windows Server support to ACS.
