There are several different sources of Linux VM images for Azure. Each source provides a different expectation for quality, utility and support. This document will summarize each source (marketplace images, platform images, custom images, and community gallery images). It will further provide more details about platform images which are images provided in partnership between Microsoft and several mainstream Linux publishers such as Red Hat, Canonical, and SUSE.

Microsoft’s Linux distribution partners provide a multitude of Linux images in the Azure Marketplace. For distributions that are not available from the Marketplace, you can always provide a custom built Linux image by following the guidelines found in [Create and upload a virtual hard disk that contains the Linux operating system](create-upload-generic.md). For older versions see [Linux Kernel Requirements](create-upload-generic.md#linux-kernel-requirements).

Azure works closely with various endorsed Linux distributions to optimize the images that they published to Azure Marketplace. One aspect of this collaboration is the development of "tuned" Linux kernels that are optimized for the Azure platform and delivered as fully supported components of the Linux distribution. The Azure-Tuned kernels incorporate new features and performance improvements, and at a faster (typically quarterly) cadence compared to the default or generic kernels that are available from the distribution.

In most cases, you will find these kernels pre-installed on the default images in Azure Marketplace so customers will immediately get the benefit of these optimized kernels. More information about these Azure-Tuned kernels can be found in the following links:

Red Hat workloads are supported through a variety of offerings on Azure. Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) images are at the core of RHEL workloads, as is the Red Hat Update Infrastructure (RHUI). Red Hat JBoss EAP is also supported on Azure, see [Red Hat JBoss EAP](#red-hat-jboss-eap).

Azure offers a wide offering of RHEL images on Azure. These images are made available through two different licensing models: pay-as-you-go and bring-your-own-subscription (BYOS). New RHEL images on Azure are published when new RHEL versions are released and updated throughout their lifecycles, as necessary.
