Frequently Asked Questions
-
Yes: Linux accounts for more than 60% of all Azure VM workloads. Microsoft ships its own Azure Linux (formerly CBL-Mariner) distribution optimised for Azure infrastructure and AKS, alongside support for Ubuntu, RHEL, SUSE, Debian, and Oracle Linux.
-
Core services include Azure Virtual Machines, Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), Azure Container Instances, Azure DevOps, Azure Pipelines, App Service (Linux), Azure Arc for hybrid/multi-cloud management, and Azure Monitor with Log Analytics. Infrastructure engineers also work extensively with ARM templates, Bicep, or Terraform for the Azure provider.
-
The AZ-104 (Azure Administrator) and AZ-400 (DevOps Engineer Expert) are most relevant for Linux engineers. The AZ-305 (Azure Solutions Architect Expert) is valuable for senior infrastructure roles. Linux Foundation certifications (LFCS, CKA, CKS) complement Azure certifications well for hybrid cloud positions.
-
Both are common. Terraform with the AzureRM provider is preferred at organisations running multi-cloud or already using Terraform elsewhere. Bicep is Microsoft's native IaC language and is increasingly adopted in Azure-first organisations. Most job postings accept either, but Terraform proficiency is more broadly transferable.
