Azure is a cloud provider the same as AWS. If you want to run Linux, fine. 
In fact they have their own version.

I am more familiar with AWS but I wouldn't be surprised if the whole 
operation isn't running on Linux. Amazon has their own version.

We have several clients that use Stratus HA systems. As far as they're 
concerned the VMs are Windows. If you poke around with WireShark or 
similar utilities you find the whole shebang is running on RHEL and using 
KVM. Stratus originally used Xen but switched. That may have been RHEL 
switching. 

It's back to the ongoing argument. Desktop Linux may be a niche thing but 
when you look at what's holding up most of the infrastructure it's Linux.
