"On June 8, 2016, a standard FreeBSD 10.3 image was published into the Azure Marketplace. Microsoft published the image working as part of the FreeBSD community and in collaboration with the FreeBSD Foundation. This was a milestone representing the culmination of several years of Microsoft collaboration with the FreeBSD community. FreeBSD is leveraged as the base OS for a number of virtual appliances running in Azure, and so Microsoft has a natural interest in making sure it runs well." https://freebsdfoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Running-FreeBSD-Azure.pdf https://freebsdfoundation.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/Run...
