Mariner information
Cloud Shell provides a large set of useful cloud management tools packaged inside a container. From
November 2020 to now, the base image for the container and the corresponding repository for packages
has been “Common Base Linux – Delridge” (aka CBL-D). Thanks to the support and feedback, Cloud
Shell is now moving to support additional Microsoft scenarios and requires a new base image.
We are currently updating Cloud Shell to a newer base image and repository called "Common Base Linux – Mariner" (aka CBL-Mariner). Mariner is a fully opensource RPM based Linux distribution that Microsoft uses internally to run Azure services and Edge appliances.
Tooling has been updated to reflect the new base image CBL-Mariner and should have little impact on
customers. If your scenario has been affected by these changes, please contact Azure support, or
create an issue in the Cloud Shell repository.
