So...where is Linux now?

Question

New feeds are abuzz that you can run Linux VMs on Azure.

But I can't seem to find anything related in the Azure management portal.  

If I want to spin up a CentOS VM, for example, how do I do it?  I can't find where I would start the process.

But alas, despite the announcements, virtual machines are still "COMING SOON".

Answer 2

Hi.

They will be here at least tomorrow, after official MEET Azure event.
