The Pervasive Influence of Linux on Modern Software Development and DevOps
Posted: 2024-07-23 16:00:00 Source: https://www.linuxjournal.com/content/pervasive-influence-linux-modern-software-development-and-devops
Introduction
Since its inception in the early 1990s, Linux has grown from a hobbyist's project into a foundational pillar of the modern technological world. Its impact spans across various aspects of technology but is particularly pronounced in the realms of software development and DevOps. This article explores the transformative role of Linux in these fields, highlighting how its open source nature has fostered innovation, collaboration, and efficiency in building and managing software.
Linux and Software Development
Linux is more than just an operating system; it is a testament to the power of open source philosophy. Initiated by Linus Torvalds, Linux quickly became a flagbearer for open source development, demonstrating that collaborative, transparent, and freely accessible software could compete with, and often outperform, proprietary counterparts. This ethos has encouraged a culture of sharing and improvement, allowing developers worldwide to enhance the system and adapt it to a wide range of applications, from enterprise servers to personal computers.
A key aspect of Linux’s influence in software development is its rich ecosystem of tools and environments that enhance programming productivity and software quality. Tools like Git, originally developed by Linus Torvalds for Linux kernel development, have become ubiquitous in software version control. Bash, the Linux command shell, and scripting language, is integral for automating tasks, simplifying complex development processes, and orchestrating workflows. Additionally, Linux’s compatibility and support for a vast array of programming languages and development tools make it an ideal environment for both developing and deploying applications.
Linux has played a pivotal role in the development and popularization of several programming languages, notably Python and Ruby. These languages have thrived in part due to their strong integration and performance on Linux systems, which are commonly used for backend development. The Python programming language, for example, often used in scientific computing, web applications, and artificial intelligence, benefits significantly from the extensive libraries and frameworks developed in and for Linux environments.
Linux and DevOps Practices
In DevOps, automation is key, and Linux excels here. The operating system's ability to seamlessly integrate with various automation tools enables developers and system administrators to streamline their workflows. For instance, Jenkins, a continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) tool, runs natively on Linux and automates the parts of software development related to building, testing, and deploying, thereby increasing efficiency and reducing the scope for errors.

Microsoft: Linux Is the Top Operating System on Azure Today
Posted: 2024-07-23 00:50:00 Source: https://linux.slashdot.org/story/24/07/22/2157209/microsoft-linux-is-the-top-operating-system-on-azure-today?utm_source=atom1.0mainlinkanon&utm_medium=feed
Azure used to be a cloud platform dedicated to Windows. Now, it's the most widely used operating system on Microsoft Azure. The New Stack's Joab Jackson writes: These days, Microsoft expends considerable effort that Linux runs as smoothly as possible on Azure, according to a talk given earlier this year at the Linux Foundation Open Source Summit given by two Microsoft Azure Linux Platforms Group program managers, Jack Aboutboul, and Krum Kashan. "Linux is the #1 operating system in Azure today," Aboutoul said. And all must be supported in a way that Microsoft users have come to expects. Hence, the need for the Microsoft's Linux Platforms Group, which provides support Linux to both the internal customers and to Azure customers. These days, the duo of engineers explained, Microsoft knows about as much as anyone about how to operate Linux at hyperscale. [...] As of today, there are hundreds of Azure and Azure-based services running on Linux, including the Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), OpenAI, HDInsight, and many of the other database services. "A lot of the infrastructure powering everything else is running on Linux," Aboutoul said. "They're different flavors of Linux running all over the place," Aboutoul said. To run these services, Microsoft maintains its own kernel, Azure Linux, and in 2023 the company released its own version of Linux, Azure Linux. But Azure Linux is just a small portion of all the other flavors of Linux running on Azure, all of which Microsoft must work with to support. Overall, there are about 20,000 third-party Software as a Service (SaaS) packages in the Azure marketplace that rely on some Linux distribution. And when things go wrong, it is the Azure service engineers who get the help tickets. The company keeps a set of endorsed Linux distributions, which include Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Debian, Flatcar, Suse, Canonical, and Oracle Linux and CentOS (as managed by OpenLogic, not Red Hat). [...] Overall, the company gets about 1,000 images a month from these endorsed partners alone. Many of the distributions have multiple images (Suse has a regular one, and another one for high-performance computing, for instance).
