Microsoft has renamed the CBL-Mariner distribution to Azure Linux. Previously, the name Azure Linux was used for a specialized build installed in Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), while the general platform for building distributions was developed under the name CBL-Mariner (Common Base Linux Mariner). A few days ago, Microsoft renamed the CBL-Mariner repository to azurelinux, changed the names of the utilities, and replaced mentions of CBL-Mariner in the documentation with Azure Linux. Following this, the first release of the platform under the new name was formed \u2014 Azure Linux 2.0.20240301, which addresses accumulated bugs and vulnerabilities in applications. <\/p>\n

The project aims to unify the Linux solutions used in Microsoft and simplify the maintenance of Linux systems for various purposes. Among other things, the distribution is used in cloud infrastructure, edge systems, and various Microsoft services. Project developments are distributed under the MIT license. Packages are built for aarch64 and x86_64 architectures. A bootable ISO image has been prepared (860 MB) for the x86_64 architecture. <\/p>\n

The Azure Linux distribution provides a small standardized set of core packages that serve as a universal foundation for building container images, host environments, and services that run in cloud infrastructures and on edge devices. More complex and specialized solutions can be created by adding additional packages on top of Azure Linux, but the base for all such systems remains unchanged, simplifying maintenance and update preparation. <\/p>\n

For example, Azure Linux serves as the basis for the mini-distribution WSLg, which provides components of the graphical stack for running Linux GUI applications in environments based on the WSL2 (Windows Subsystem for Linux). Enhanced functionality in WSLg is implemented through the inclusion of additional packages with compositing support. proxy server<\/a> Weston, XWayland, PulseAudio, and FreeRDP. <\/p>\n

The Azure Linux build system enables the generation of both separate RPM packages based on SPEC files and source texts, as well as monolithic system images created with the rpm-ostree tool, which can be updated atomically without breaking them into individual packages. Accordingly, two models for delivering updates are supported: through updating individual packages and through rebuilding and updating the entire system image. A repository containing approximately 3000 already built RPM packages is available, which can be used to assemble custom images based on a configuration file. <\/p>\n

The Basic platform includes only the essential components and is optimized for minimal memory and disk space consumption, as well as high loading speed. The project utilizes a 'maximum security by default' approach, which involves enabling various additional mechanisms to enhance protection: <\/p>\n
