Azure-docs: Linux distro used by Nodes?

[redlumxn]

We are assessing leveraging AKS for one of our client projects. However, due to security and compliance requirements need to understand the Linux distribution used by the cluster nodes. Can you please provide some information? Couldn't find anything in the documentation.

Thanks

@iainfoulds are you ware of what version of Linux AKS uses by default? I also do not find any information on this.

Can SSH to a node and use uname -r to see the kernel version and cat /etc/lsb-release to see the Ubuntu release.

On a cluster I recently deployed, nodes are currently based on Ubuntu 16.04.5 LTS and kernel 4.15.0-1021-azure
