Is Linux-5.15.0-1042-azure-x86_64-with-glibc2.35 a VM image dedicated for Azure Cloud Service？ Can I download it and run it on my notebook? If it can, how can I achieve it? If it can not, how I can I find all VM image for Azure Cloud Service？

Hi @mango Azure images have specific versions of the Linux kernel that have been customized for use in Microsoft Azure virtual machines (VMs) (Azure Hypervisor). This customization typically includes optimizations and drivers specifically tailored for the Azure environment to ensure better performance and integration with Azure cloud services. You typically cannot directly download and use this Azure-specific kernel on your notebook because it contains optimizations and drivers meant only for Azure’s virtualized hardware. Your notebook would likely require a different set of drivers and optimizations suitable for its hardware. To find available VM images on Azure, you can browse the Azure Marketplace, which offers a wide range of both Microsoft and third-party images tailored to various needs. Additionally, you can use the Azure CLI (Command Line Interface) tool with commands like az vm image list to explore available images. Get in touch if you need more help with this issue. --please don't forget to "[ Accept the answer ]" if the reply is helpful--

Can you please help me because someone is trying to deceive the judge in court and tell everyone: Linux-5.15.0-1042-azure-x86_64-with-glibc2.35 can be executed directly on the laptop. I'm not very familiar with Azure and don't know how to find official documentation from Azure explaining this matter. Specifically, I need official Azure documentation to confirm that Linux-5.15.0-1042-azure-x86_64-with-glibc2.35 is an Azure-specific VM image. How do I find this document to prove it?

Hello mango
I understand your concern. To confirm that Linux-5.15.0-1042-azure-x86_64-with-glibc2.35 is an Azure-specific VM image, you can refer to the Azure documentation on endorsed distributions. Endorsed distributions are Linux distributions that are recommended by Microsoft for use on Azure. These distributions are tested and optimized for use on Azure, and they include pre-configured images that are available in the Azure Marketplace.

You can find the Azure documentation on endorsed distributions at the following link:

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/linux/endorsed-distros

The Linux kernel version Linux-5.15.0-1042-azure-x86_64-with-glibc2.35 is optimized for use on Azure and is included in the pre-configured VM images that are available in the Azure Marketplace. These VM images are designed to run on Azure and are not intended to be installed and run on a local laptop or desktop computer.

To run a VM on Azure, you need to create a VM from a supported VM image that is available in the Azure Marketplace. These VM images are optimized for use on Azure and include the necessary drivers and configurations to run on Azure.

I hope this clarifies the matter.

Hi vipullag-MSFT

Very thanks for your helpful answers. I follow your guidelines and find out the link. linux-azure package

I find there are four publishing records of 5.15.0-1042 as below.

I have several questions.

What is the final publishing timing of 5.15.0-1042 ?

What does the column, names such as Status,Target, Pocket, stand for ? I guess Pocket: security is final publishing timing of 5.15.0-1042. Am I correct?
