Is C++ the dominant language for Azure? If not, what is? Is the datacenter running on Linux? Curious... #azure #C++ #microsoft
C-zure
I assume Java and not C# because Microsoft are hypocrites
C#
Only after you reach a certain level of abstraction is this true. All clouds Azure, AWS, and GCP have a foundation (bare metal) on which all that sits on top of. Also even though it's possible for teams to write in any language doesn't mean there isn't a dominant one used internally.
That’s very true, I was reading this from the perspective of a user of the service interacting with the abstraction layer (when I read AWS engineers, I don’t think of the systems engineers that own the bare metal architecture for AWS itself, I think of an engineer who specializes in an AWS stack) but if they really mean in the true bare metal sense, the answer from Microsoft is: “Microsoft Azure has been described as a "cloud layer" on top of a number of Windows Server systems, which use Windows Server 2008 and a customized version of Hyper-V, known as the Microsoft Azure Hypervisor to provide virtualization of services”
Bare metal services are C++, Everything else (the majority) is C#. Datacenters run windows but there is a big effort to move all Azure bare metal services to a Linux SoC. Customer payloads will still run on top of windows.
This is what I was l looking for. Thank you.

Cleared Amazon onsite, but lowballed.
No, it's C# of course.
