Mixing
Operating systems for some azure services
I was looking at Azure documentation but I couldn't find what type of operating system does Azure for MySQL and Azure Redis Cache use. I assume that for redis it should be a must to use Ubuntu but can't find any details about underlying infrastructure. I may have missed it so if you can please refer me to it.
I want to know what are the difference between my current environment and Azure managed DBs and also what control I would lose if moving to managed instances as opposed to the many benefits that I would gain before going that way.

The whole idea behind managed services is that the underlying infrastructure is hidden for the consumer. That is why you won't find any documentation about it.

Also, it's Windows and Service Fabric. But you shouldn't care, because if you care, you shouldn't use a managed, hosted service, you should roll your own.

Not sure about MySQL but Azure Redis Cache uses Windows OS.

@GauravMantri thx .. that's why I wanted to make sure cause windows and redis are the worst combination .. redis site itself doesn't recommend any non-unix based systems

@PeterBons and evilSnobu, yeah you are both right .. but my customer was advised to move to managed services and I wanted to see what we are losing. for example, for redis, if it uses windows then I want to keep using my own instance if the managed instance uses windows since it has many problems and only old versions are available (unlike unix-based).
