Microsoft is pushing hard Azure linux

Microsoft's new Azure Linux 4.0 is here, and it could replace Windows Server in the enterprise

Microsoft's Linux server distribution is now available as an ISO to install on your own server or virtual machine.

There are plans to support it in the near future ?

Probably not any time soon since azure Linux is still pretty much in beta, and even after it leave the beta it'll be awhile, plus need demand for it (considering it doesn't support Fedora either.

For now you can keep an eye on https://features.plesk.com/tabs/28-planned-roadmap to see if anything changes or you can submit it as an ideal.

I am expecting a big push for Azure Linux in the context of Azure cloud.
I presume it will be considered at some moment production-ready for servers ( unlike Fedora )

That's why i presume will be interesting for Plesk ...

You do know that Azure Linux 4 (which is the current version and what you're more likely referring to since earlier versions of Azure Linux is not publicly available for deployment and was solely used internally for running containers and the like) is based off of Fedora, right?

And as someone who works at a MSP and have plenty of clients that's in Azure, I find it hard to believe that Azure Linux would have high demand. Most uses Windows, Ubuntu, or Red Hat if they're not using PaaS (container services, web apps, etc.) but who knows, in the world of technology, anything can change in a moment's notice.

Yes, and i am expecting to see some funding and interests from Microsoft in this one.
It is not a decision for today, but probably it is interesting to keep an eye on it.
