Welcome to the Windows Core OS platform team blog. We own the core of the Windows operating system, primarily, the virtualization platform, silicon support (Intel, AMD, and Arm), kernel, storage file system and hyperconverged storage infrastructure including Spaces Direct. In addition, we also build and deploy a specially crafted operating system based on Windows for the Azure Cloud. We migrated our old blog which was focused purely on Windows kernel to incorporate the full stack of tech owned by the team.

 

The team will continue use this blog to talk about the internals of upcoming features in the Windows Core OS Platform space, very similar to my previous blog on Windows Kernel Internals. For our first blog we will be talking about how we use all our technologies to provide a special purpose host operating system for the Azure Cloud, called Cloud Host.

 

Cheers
