+Microsoft has another Linux distribution and it is based on Debian
+======
+Microsoft has been using a Debian-based Linux distro for Azure Cloud. We’re getting to know about it now!
+
+![microsoft debian][1]
+
+Microsoft utilizes Linux for a wide range of its projects. In recent years, you must have read a lot about WSL (or WSL2) and a Linux distribution made by Microsoft, i.e., **CBL (Common Base Linux) Mariner**.
+
+Even with Windows 11, Microsoft keeps improving the experience with [WSL][2].
+
+While CBL Mariner is used to power WSLg (the GUI part of WSL 2) and Azure, some recent press coverage (via [ZDNet][3]) uncovered another Linux distribution that Microsoft uses internally.
+
+Microsoft sure loves Linux, right?
+
+### CBL-Delridge: A Debian-based Linux distro
+
+![][4]
+
+Microsoft maintains a Debian-based distro, which is used to power Azure’s Cloud Shell. And it goes by the name “**CBL-Delridge**“.
+
+Thanks to [Hayden Barnes][5], a senior engineering manager responsible for Windows containers at SUSE.
+
+In one of his [older blog posts][6] in February 2022. He revealed more details about it while helping you build it and import it into WSL if required.
+
+CBL-Delridge (CBL-D) is based on Debian 10 (Buster), unlike CBL-Mariner, built from scratch.
+
+Not a surprise to see Debian being favored here. Even [Google ditched Ubuntu for Debian][7] for its in-house Linux distro gLinux.
+
+Interestingly, Microsoft published the distro in 2020 for internal use (as per an [unofficial timeline of Microsoft’s open-source interactions][8] maintained by Hayden), and we’re getting to know about it in 2022.
+
+![][9]
+
+The CBL-Delridge also utilizes the same version number 10 (coincidentally) with the codename “Quinault.” Breaking down the name, ZDNet notes that Delridge is a district in West Seattle, and Quinault refers to a valley in the Olympic National Park in Washington State.
+
+### Building CBL-Delridge
+
+Unlike normal Linux distributions, you won’t find an image file to download publicly.
+
+Considering the apt package repositories for CBL-D are public, you can build your image of CBL-D if you need to test it for any of your relevant requirements.
+
+You can also import it into WSL. [Hayden’s blog post][10] explains using debootstrap to get started building the image and then importing it to WSL.
+
+Note that the CBL-D is not exactly a replacement for Debian. So, you may not be able to find all your favorite packages. To know more about it, you can explore Hayden’s blog post.
+
+What do you think about Microsoft’s Linux distributions for internal use? Have you tried any of them yet? Let me know your thoughts in the comments.
