An Azure VM gives you the flexibility of virtualisation without having to buy and maintain the physical hardware that runs it. You still need to maintain the VM by performing tasks, such as configuring, patching, and installing the software that runs on it.
Linux virtual machines in Azure
Enterprise-grade open-source and community-driven software in seconds and reduce costs.
Select your preferred distribution with Azure Linux virtual machines (VMs), including Red Hat, SUSE, Ubuntu, CentOS, Debian and CoreOS – about 50 per cent of all Azure compute cores are Linux. Use preconfigured solutions from Oracle and other open-source VM-compatible providers and find Azure-optimised Linux images from publishers of your choice. Get the cloud’s only co-located technical support from Azure, Red Hat, and SUSE.
