I was surprised to hear that Windows just added native NVMe which Linux has had for many years. I wonder if Azure has been paying the SCSI emulation tax this whole time.

Probably, most of stuff you see in Windows Server these days is backported from Azure improvements.
It was always wild to me that their installer was just not able to detect an NVMe drive out of the box in certain situations. I saw it a few times with customers when I was doing support for a Linux company.
Afaik Azure is mostly Linux
The user VMs are mostly Linux but Azure itself runs on a stripped down version of Windows Server and all the VMs are hosted inside Hyper-V. See https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/blog/windowsosplatform/a...
