Today we are excited to announce the public preview of Azure Monitor, a new platform service that provides monitoring capabilities for Azure resources.

As the Jenkins project and demand for Jenkins has grown, the project needs a more reliable, more secure, and more agile Linux platform on which to build the next generations of their content distribution network and Java-based tools.

Today, we’re making additional Azure PaaS services and DevOps tools available for you to deploy and run on top of your Technical Preview deployments.

Application Insights web tests will ping your application from multiple locations to check availability and then alert you when it is down. In this post I will explain how to automatically deploy a web test.

Azure makes it easy to set up a dev-test environment for your applications and all of their components: web app, database, database server, storage, and any third-party services.

There’s a much faster way to create the infrastructure you need to deploy and test a tiered, web-based line-of-business application (LOB app). Azure makes it easy to simulate a LOB app production environment from your location on the Internet.

As part of your hybrid cloud environment for testing, Azure helps you set up a SharePoint farm you can use to develop SharePoint applications, test for capacity and performance, or create an IT pro proof-of-concept configuration for learning and experimentation prior to deploying SharePoint in

Creating dev-test environments that mimic production often present challenges due to scalability and complexity, especially for hybrid applications and workloads. Azure makes it easy to create a cross-premises virtual network that connects to and extends your on-premises network.

There’s a simpler way to speed up the process of creating a dev-test environment. Azure makes it easy to create virtual machines and network them together—the first steps in creating your own dev-test environment.

Azure Virtual Machines (VMs) are a great place to start exploring dev-test capabilities in the cloud.

Dev-test in Azure is ideal for collaborative teams and gives you agile management over your environment.

I’m happy to announce that the Application Insights Windows SDKs have reached the 1.0.0 milestone. By reaching the 1.0.0 milestone we will take on greater stability around SDK changes and a longer support lifetime.
