Ntegral VM for Azure Linux 3.0

The Problem You're Solving Today

Every cloud-first organization reaches the same inflection point: the base operating system powering your Azure VMs is either accelerating your team or silently holding them back. General-purpose Linux distributions ship with hundreds of packages your workloads never touch—each one a potential vulnerability, each one consuming update bandwidth, each one adding seconds to boot time and complexity to your compliance audits.

Meanwhile, your DevOps engineers are trapped in a repeating cycle: provision a vanilla image, strip unnecessary packages, apply CIS hardening scripts, validate against your security baseline, document the changes for audit, and push it to a golden image repository—only to repeat the entire process when the next point release drops. That cycle costs weeks per quarter. For organizations running hundreds of VMs, it costs entire engineering headcounts.

What Azure Linux 3 by Ntegral Changes

This image eliminates that cycle entirely. Azure Linux 3 is Microsoft's own Linux distribution—the same OS running inside Azure Kubernetes Service, Azure IoT Edge, and other first-party Azure services—delivered by Ntegral as a fully hardened, compliance-aligned, production-ready virtual machine image.

Minimal by design. Azure Linux 3 ships with only the packages required for cloud workloads. Fewer packages mean fewer CVEs, faster boots, and smaller update payloads. Your attack surface shrinks the moment you deploy. Hardened before you touch it. Ntegral applies enterprise security configurations aligned with CIS benchmarks before the image reaches the marketplace. SELinux policies are enforced, unnecessary services are disabled, and kernel parameters are tuned for Azure's hypervisor environment. Your security team reviews a validated baseline—not a to-do list. Azure-native from the kernel up. Optimized drivers for Azure's network and storage stack deliver consistent I/O performance without manual tuning. Native integration with Azure Monitor, Microsoft Defender for Cloud, and Azure Update Manager means your operations team gets observability and patch management through tools they already use. Compliance-ready infrastructure. Organizations subject to FedRAMP, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, GDPR, or ISO 27001 requirements gain a base image that supports these frameworks out of the box. Ntegral maintains documentation and configuration mappings that simplify your audit evidence collection. Deploy in minutes, not sprints. Launch Ntegral's pre-hardened Azure Linux 3 image now and reclaim the engineering hours your team has been losing to manual OS configuration.
