The Windows Subsystem for Linux is a neat place to try out various Linux things for folks. Having a CentOS Stream9 image available within the Microsoft Marketplace would be a great way to help folks try out the distribution.
This would indeed be advantageous, but we are blocked on adding official images in WSL for the same reasons Fedora is. There is a long-standing legal matter that needs to be resolved.
If we can get this resolved, then Hyperscale would be potentially interested in WSL images too.
+1, same story as having centos7 on WSL, we can probably prepare a howto/recipe but that is not as convenient for the end user.
WSL being available for windows server... not just desktop. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-on-server ... usual linux distro at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install-manual#downloading-distributions (not in market place) except stream and rhel and a 3rd party fedora!

This is still blocked on Red Hat. No further updates at this time.
Metadata Update from @spotz: - Issue assigned to jwboyer
Still no movement on the Red Hat side, so still blocked.
We do have images in Azure, but that is separate from WSL.
