Microsoft opens up: Developing Linux-based operating system
Under Satya Nadella, Microsoft has become more open than ever. The company has announced a Linux-based operating system – Azure Cloud Switch. It is a cross-platform modular operating system for data centre networking built on Linux,” Kamala Subramaniam, Principal Architect, Azure Networking said in a blog post. It also allows us the flexibility to scale down the software and develop features that are required for our datacentre and our networking needs.” ACS also allows us to share the same software stack across hardware from multiple switch vendors. “We’re talking about ACS publicly as we believe this approach of disaggregating the switch software from the switch hardware will continue to be a growing trend in the networking industry and we would like to contribute our insights and experiences of this journey starting here,” Subramaniam added.
