5. Linux Foundation History
˃ The Linux Foundation was started in 2000 under the Open Source
Development Labs (OSDL) and became the organization it is today when
OSDL merged with the Free Standards Group (FSG) in 2007.
˃ The Linux Foundation is home to the largest open source projects in the world
and sponsors the work of Linux creator Linus Torvalds.
˃ The Linux Foundation is supported by leading technology firms and
developers from around the world.
˃ The Linux Foundation provides infrastructure, legal management, events,
training and certification, for open source projects in order grow and sustain
them.

6. The Linux Foundation is creating the greatest shared
technology investment in history by enabling open
source collaboration across companies, developers,
and users.
We are the organization of choice to build
ecosystems that accelerate open technology
development and commercial adoption.

for all audiences
Purpose of MCSA Linux on Azure:
This certification demonstrates the ability to
design, architect, implement, and maintain
complex cloud-enabled Linux®
solutions that
leverage Microsoft Azure open source
capabilities. It also validates your Linux system
administration skills to show that you are fluent
in today's cloud-native world.

47. The LF is working with others to increase Linux knowledge
for all audiences

Candidates have to pass two exams to get
the MCSA Linux on Azure:

1. Linux Foundation Certified System
Administrator (LFCS)

2. Implementing Microsoft Azure
Infrastructure Solutions (Exam 70-533)


48. Cooperation between Microsoft and the LF on training
