Microsoft has released a beta version of Azure Linux 4.0 for the Windows Subsystem for Linux, enabling developers to run Azure Linux directly on Windows PCs to reduce compatibility issues between local development and Azure cloud environments.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Cloud Infrastructure.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

Developers running apps on Azure need to test in an identical environment locally to avoid deployment issues. You can now run Azure Linux on your Windows PC, cutting testing guesswork and speeding up debugging.
