I don’t think it ships with a desktop environment by default; I think they’re just referring to the Qt framework. If it is mentioning a desktop environment - it’s probably LXQt.
I know Microsoft gave Gnome a donation of 10.000$ because they use Ubuntu (which use Gnome) and inside the repo (inside SPECS folder) I’ve seen gnome-commons to build gnoem stuff.
But yes, this is probably a server distro without a DE.
Seems to be based mostly on Fedora by reading the Readme.
I would like to know if it does use systemd and/or other redhat technologies.
In the readme they mention Qt, does anyone know what DE do they use?

If you follow the links, you’ll see that it’s essentially a new name for/ release of CBL-Mariner. from the GitHub readme:
I’d wager it uses systemd considering Lennart Poettering works for Microsoft.
Just look it up instead of making wild guesses: https://github.com/microsoft/azurelinux/tree/3.0-dev/SPECS/systemd
It does use systemd. It uses SELinux and dnf as well. It seems to be patterned in Fedora or CentOS Stream. There is no desktop environment.
