Azure Data Studio and OS Version

Question

Hello,

I installed Docker (WSL 2) in Windows 10, then install SQL Server 2019 in a container with the following command:

     docker run -e "ACCEPT_EULA=Y" -e "SA_PASSWORD=mypass" -p 1401:1433 -d mcr.microsoft.com/mssql/server:2019-latest  

Now install Azure Data Studio in Windows 10 and successfully connect to the container.
Why OS version is Ubuntu 20.04?
Could you please explain where Ubuntu 20.04 role is?

Thank you

WSL2 allows you to install Docker Desktop on Windows and host Linux based containers. WSL2 is based on Ubuntu (bash) as explained in this article. Every linux docker container you use on Windows 10 will use Ubuntu.
