SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES 15 SP7 / 16) Gen2 VM for Azure
SUSE Linux Enterprise Server Gen2 VM
A hardened SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) Gen2 VM image for Azure, built for the Azure Marketplace. Choose SLES 15 SP7 for the established 15.x line or SLES 16 for the latest major release — both as Trusted Launch-capable Gen2 images.
Who this is for: Enterprises and ISVs running production Linux workloads on SUSE who want a hardened, patch-current SLES base image on Azure.
Target industries: Financial services, manufacturing, public sector, and any enterprise standardizing mission-critical Linux workloads on SUSE Linux Enterprise.
Value proposition: Maintaining a hardened, patch-current SLES base on Azure takes ongoing effort. This image gives you a consistent starting point:
- SLES 15 SP7 and SLES 16 — two plans covering the current 15.x service pack and the SLES 16 major release, each as a Trusted Launch-capable Gen2 image
- Monthly patched & hardened — rebuilt each month from the upstream base with the latest OS security updates; hardened to Microsoft's Azure Marketplace certification standards before any version is published
- Ready to run — the service is installed, enabled, and configured to start on boot, so the VM is productive minutes after deployment instead of after a manual install
- Audit trail per release — build and certification evidence retained for every published image version, available for compliance audits and change-management documentation
Plans available:
- SLES 15 SP7 — Gen2 — the current 15.x service-pack line
- SLES 16 — Gen2 — the latest SLES major release
