The RISC-V ecosystem includes systems that boot with UEFI , handle power management with ACPI and run a variety of operating systems including Linux distributions such as Ubuntu .
Notably missing software from the RISC-V ecosystem is Microsoft Windows , .NET , VirtualBox , and VMware ESXi .
Cloud providers with RISC-V servers include Scaleway and Cloud-V but not Microsoft Azure or Amazon Web Services (AWS).[ 1] [ 2]
