How exactly is azure Linux? That doesn’t make sense in any way.
Azure is powered by Linux, and since 2019 has hosted more Linux servers than MS.

Right, having a handful of services built on Linux (which needs clarity on exactly what that means in the second article) and the fact that most enterprise workloads already are on Linux so they obviously have a higher percentage than windows isn’t some MS being a huge proponent of Linux.
There is a distro called Azure Linux
There's also a distro called Hannah Montana Linux, but that doesn't make Hannah Montana literally Linux.
Well, you got a point there
