We live in historical moments…. Microsoft has reportedly developed its own Linux distribution. We repeat: Microsoft is reported to have developed its own Linux distribution.
The new operating system is reportedly being used by Azure Networking.
That's Redmond he revealed that Azure Cloud developed Switch ή ACS. Το χαρακτηρίζει σαν ένα “cross-platform αρθρωτό λειτουργικό σύστημα για Data Center networking built on Linux.”
Kamala Subramanian, Redmond's chief architect for Azure Networking, says: costs. ”
The ACS is designed to use the Interface or Switch Abstraction Interface (SAI) switch, an attempt OpenCompute offering an API to program the ASIC inside the network devices.
Microsoft's disclosure of ACS mentions few of its features, and does not explain why the company decided to make the Linux distribution. Is it a sideways acknowledgment of the capabilities of Linux over the Windows Server operating system?
Anyway, we should mention that the new CEO of Microsoft Satya Nadella it's something we've never seen before. It seems he's not afraid to use any technology as long as it works.
But Microsoft to develop its own Linux?
This was something we did not expect…
