Containers

Five highlights from last week in Azure for the week of October 2, 2017.

Serverless provides a great model for accelerating app development, but developers want to do it using the programming languages and development tools of their choice.

With the increased popularity of serverless, we hear from developers from all kinds of backgrounds and preferences. Many of them are building truly impressive serverless applications.

Azure Service Fabric is the foundational microservices and orchestration platform that powers core Azure infrastructure.

Customers often ask us about the scalability and throughput limits of the consumption plan for Azure Functions. The short answer is always “it depends, what does your workload look like?”.

We are excited to debut our native Jenkins on Azure support for Kubernetes; make it easy for you to build using container agent and deploy a Kubernetes cluster in Azure Container Service. See you at Jenkins World 2017!

Today we made some exciting announcements along with Red Hat around container support.

Containers have fundamentally changed the way developers develop their applications, the way applications are deployed, and the way system administrators manage their environments. Containers offer a broadly accepted and open standard, enabling simple portability between platforms and between clouds.

Today, my team is proud to announce Draft, a tool that streamlines application development and deployment into any Kubernetes cluster. Using two simple commands, developers can now begin hacking on container-based applications without requiring Docker or even installing Kubernetes themselves.

It’s been about a month since we finalized the acquisition of Deis to expand the Azure Container Service and Kubernetes support on Azure.

We’ve recently made it much easier to monitor microservices and containerized applications using Azure Application Insights.

Today we’re wrapping up an amazing week at Red Hat Summit. We’re proud to, once again, sponsor and participate in a forum that brings together customers, partners and communities who are passionate about open source in the enterprise.
