Azure Linux is an internal Linux distribution for Microsoft’s cloud
infrastructure and edge products and services. Azure Linux is designed to
provide a consistent platform for these devices and services and will
enhance Microsoft’s ability to stay current on Linux updates. This
initiative is part of Microsoft’s increasing investment in a wide range of
Linux technologies, such as SONiC and Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL).
Azure Linux is being shared publicly as part of Microsoft’s commitment to
Open Source and to contribute back to the Linux community. Azure Linux
does not change our approach or commitment to any existing third-party
Linux distribution offerings.

I've not really been following any of the MS-Linux saga, but in reading
the above, it sounds like Azure Linux is for the OS of cloud servers.

What's the brief history of MS's server OS products? My recollection
was that they pushed out Novell, but I'm really dating myself with that
statement.

They didn’t have one until Windows NT. That succeeded in killing off the
entire Unix workstation market. But then the Server version went up
against Linux, and didn’t quite fare so well.

These days, Windows Server is in its declining years. Microsoft is putting
more effort into the cloud version, but even there it is being wiped out
by Linux.
