I know it's just compute, but it still seems weird to run Windows Server on GCP.
That said it doesn't seem so weird to run Linux vms on Azure.

I had half expected the article to center around the dotnet-onbuild docker containers or something similar... Which for my few tests has been pretty nice... though not everything is docker friendly, or even works outside windows, but with the option there, I'm sure more apps will make the effort to support that type of deployment.

Is there any particular reason why it seems weird? Is it because they've never supported it, or something more involved?

Totally an irrational personal bias that I need to drop...
When you think of Google and deploying to the cloud, Borg and K8s come to mind. That's their expertise. Windows Server doesn't fit into that picture.
I guess it is the same with Azure and running Linux VMs there. Although a third of Azure VMs run Linux, the marketing and public awareness hasn't caught up with that reality.
As I .NET dev, I very much approve
