The free Linux distribution Debian is now available as a supported distribution in the Azure Marketplace. In collaboration with Microsoft, credativ will also take over the ongoing maintenance of the Debian images.

The Debian images created by credativ are now available for Debian 8 (Jessie) and Debian 7 (Wheezy).

Further information is available on Microsoft’s Azure Blog.

We would like to thank all colleagues involved from credativ’s Debian team, as well as Microsoft and the Debian Project, for the smooth and professional collaboration.

credativ’s Open Source Support Center provides comprehensive support for Debian GNU/Linux and numerous open source projects.

In addition, if required, we provide operational support or take over full operations for Linux-based operating environments and your entire open source stack. Our Operation-Services are delivered by credativ’s Open Source Support Center and fully cover all day-to-day operational tasks. Operations can be carried out within a mixed team of your staff and ours, or be fully taken over by credativ.
