It's well-known Apple is a big RHEL customer, including Linux on Azure, lending credence to the saying that every Mac is built upon Windows (Hyper-V).
Fairly certain the iTunes store, their web store, etc. are all built upon enterprise Linux as well.
And there's nothing wrong with that. Use the best tool for the job. Most car owners have never looked in the engine compartment.
- jen20 1y ago> including Linux on Azure Are you sure about this?
- gorbypark 1y agoI don’t think many azure services are Linux on hyper-v, are they? Azure (afaik) is quite heavy on bare metal Linux.
- miffy900 1y agoMany of their SaaS offerings are, but many infrastructure offerings are running Windows Server underneath. Rent out any Azure VM, and regardless of guest OS, it's using Hyper-v underneath as the hypervisor.
- gorbypark 1y agoAh cool, I didn't realize that even their linux VMs are being powered by Hyper-V
- pjmlp 1y agoThe OS powering Azure is Windows, even if about 60% of the VMs run Linux workloads, as per official numbers. https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/blog/windowsosplatform/azure-host-os-%e2%80%93-cloud-host/3709528 https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/blog/windowsosplatform/a...
