> I believe they also use the Windows kernel as the basis for Azure

As I understand, most of the networking-level hardware in Azure actually runs Linux ( https://www.wired.com/2015/09/microsoft-using-linux-run-c... ).

As for the hypervisor, the current generation of AWS products uses custom hardware to completely decouple the hypervisor from the underlying guest OS. So the type of a kernel that runs on this hardware is not really that important, in the grand scheme of things.

Yeah, pretty much all datacenter networking hardware runs Linux now, AFAICT.

I was thinking of the hypervisor, as you said AWS has their own in-house thing, so did VMware and effectively, so does MS.
