I don’t follow what you mean.

>What's the relationship between MS or CBL-Mariner and VMware?

None? Photon is an open source Linux distribution that’s based on fedora. Mariner pulls from photon, fedora, and others. It’s entirely developed by MS.

I’m aware, that doesn’t mean they have any direct input into mariner, they’re an upstream that mariner pulls a couple of things from, as well as fedora and others.

It also explains nothing about comment that “all doc is written by azure VMware”.

Azure is a cloud computing service. VMware is a software company owned by Dell. That would be like saying “all doc is written by AWS redhat”.
