It's just very rare to use a Windows VM in a cloud service environment to deploy services.

This may change with the Docker support we are seeing promised. Powershell is definitely a workable remote shell. But it's not the case that this is sufficient today.



Azure is the second biggest cloud provider in the world (after amazon) - and we (TipRanks) deploy VMs to Azure.

It's a lot less common but I wouldn't call it `very rare`


A lot of Azure use is with Linux VMs.


Azure provides a massive number of Linux boxes. It's actually their preferred target, if you hear them tell it at Connect2015.

I had a friend go there, came back talking about hallway discussions of Posh on Redhat.
