How good is the support? I ask because last time I tried HyperV I had lots of really lame issues. Like breaking the CD-ROM drive access and their workaround was to copy over an ISO and mount that locally or something like that. It felt like Linux was an unfinished offering. Yeah, I mean it ran... but not well. I figure some of what I ran into was user error since its a new tech to me but I've talked to a few people who have had serious HyperV issues so I'm not going to take all the blame.
I bring this up because I'd imagine those Linux VMs are sitting on top HyperV. I'll be very happy to hear that my fears are unfounded and they run great though.

- stusmall 13y agoOh, I meant support as in how well does it actually work not can I get someone on the phone to help me out. Sorry about the unclear wording.
- okaram 13y agoI'm a Linux guy (well, I was a year ago :), but I'm working for Microsoft now, and get $150/mo free on Azure ; although I haven't used many of the advanced features, I'm running a few tiny instance, both Windows and Linux; it works great and has been pretty reliable (and the UI is nicer than AWS :)
- GFischer 13y agoThe company I work for tried hard to make HyperV work, but they ended up ditching it as an inferior product. It definitely wasn't up to the enterprise standards they were expecting. I don't know what were the specific issues they ran into, though (I'm on the development side currently).
