linux kernel 6.12

About this tag
The Linux kernel 6.12 LTS is a long-term support kernel that Microsoft has integrated into Azure Linux as an optional hardware-enablement (HWE) kernel, providing Azure customers with newer device drivers and platform features while maintaining the conservative 6.6 LTS kernel as the default. Azure Linux 3.0 updates, such as versions 20250910 and 20251021, include the 6.12 LTS kernel alongside AppArmor components, DMA Peer-to-Peer support, and fixes for modern Intel, AMD, and Arm hardware. This kernel option is part of Microsoft's strategy to enhance hardware enablement and security for Azure node images and first-party services, though it introduces operational trade-offs for administrators.
