Linux distributions from Microsoft include a project known as Azure Cloud Switch (ACS) which debuted in 2015. Linux is used as a part of Azure infrastructure for reasons not disclosed by Microsoft. With the support for Microsoft SQL Server for Linux, Microsoft itself required internal Linux support, which uses its own distributions for this purpose.

In the past, Microsoft has strategically excluded any support for Linux due to it being a competitor operating system. However, as its partners have gradually embraced multiple technologies, the partnership became inevitable, where Canonical Ltd. (who develops the Ubuntu operating system) was hired in to provide support in the area, by providing a system to run Ubuntu natively on Windows 10.
