Azure Sphere is a Linux-based operating system created by Microsoft for Internet of Things applications. It is the first time Microsoft has publicly released an operating system running the Linux kernel and the second Unix-like operating system the company developed after Xenix. The company has produced a number of unreleased Linux distributions for internal use however.
Linux was chosen due to security requirements as well as being more energy efficient.
The first supported processor is the ARM based MediaTek MT3620
