Microsoft brings Debian GNU/Linux to Azure cloud
Microsoft is has collaborated with credativ to offer Debian GNU/Linux as an endorsed distribution on its Azure cloud.
Microsoft already had ties with SUSE and Canonical to offer openSUSE, SLE and Ubuntu on Azure cloud. It also had deals with OpenLogic to offer Red Hat’s CentOS. And after a very long wait, Microsoft struck a deal with Red Hat to bring RHEL to its cloud. That left Debian, one of the most popular GNU/Linux distributions on servers, behind. Until now.
Customers can now easily provision Debian-based virtual machines in Microsoft Azure. There are two supported versions of Debian available for Azure: Debian 7 (codename “wheezy”) and Debian 8 (codename “jessie”), both built by credativ.
