Linux kernel for Azure
In cooperation with Microsoft, Suse has developed the first enterprise Linux kernel specifically for Microsoft Azure. On-demand instances of Suse Linux Enterprise Server 15 now run on a specially adapted kernel for Microsoft Azure, which offers improved performance and faster booting with lower memory consumption.
The Azure-optimized kernel provides faster access to new and future Azure features, making customers' IT more agile. Suse is working with Microsoft and other partners to adapt and deploy open source solutions that enable customers to manage complex systems, reduce costs and deliver business-critical services for digital transformation.
