2016: Exit of the Microsoft FreeBSD 10.3 distribution kit
In June, 2016 Microsoft released own distribution kit of the open FreeBSD operating system. Thus, the American corporation continues to develop projects in the field of Open Source.
As Jason Anderson reported in the blog of Microsoft, the chief program manager of the Open Source Technology center of the American company, in the Azure Marketplace directory was placed own image of Microsoft FreeBSD 10.3. The software giant made it that "unload" the FreeBSD Foundation organization which develops in many respects thanks to enthusiasts and the community.
Anderson also noted that Microsoft decided to be engaged in testing, release and service of the FreeBSD distribution kit that clients could work with this operating system in Azure cloud.
Microsoft finished a core of FreeBSD 10.3 adjusted for the high performance of networks and storage systems. It is important that many of these improvements will be used in the official FreeBSD 10.3 distribution kit, and it means that they will be available to the users who are not working with Azure.
Microsoft promises to retain support of the version of FreeBSD and to add to it development from relevant modifications of the operating system for improvement of functioning of FreeBSD virtual machines on the Azure platform.
 | Placement of the supported image of FreeBSD in Azure Marketplace — considerable achievement both for community FreeBSD, and for Microsoft. We are grateful to corporation for its contribution to the FreeBSD project — the founder and the vice president of FreeBSD Foundation Justin Gibbs said. |  |
It is not the first project of Microsoft in the field of the open source software. In 2016 Microsoft and Canonical combined efforts for close interaction of Ubuntu and Windows 10. Besides, Microsoft made possible installation of a core .NET Core under /Linux, added support of Debian GNU/Linux in the cloud of Azure and organized services in certification of/Linux.[1]
