Microsoft is announcing the general availability of the latest Azure Virtual Machines featuring the Ampere Altra Arm–based processor.

In today’s business world, service availability and reliability are key to a successful digital transformation. SUSE and Microsoft have been working closely to provide a trusted path to SAP Solutions in the cloud, including solutions to reduce unplanned and planned downtime.

The new updated Azure Lab Services allows you to set up and configure Cloud labs for your classroom and training scenarios. You don’t have to worry about setting up, expanding, or managing on-premises labs anymore.

July brought a new, generally available Cost Details API for on-demand data downloads. If you use cost APIs for automation or integration, you’ll want to check that out! We also added three new preview features, four new ways to save, and five documentation updates.

The Cost Details API is now generally available for use by Enterprise Agreement (EA) and Microsoft Customer Agreement (MCA) customers. This API provides on-demand download of the granular cost details (formerly referred to as usage details) associated with your Microsoft charges.

Cloud adoption increased significantly during COVID-19 and continues for many companies. However, an enormous migration and modernization opportunity remains as organizations continue their digital transformation.

There is an increased need for IT solutions to maintain business continuity and sustain innovation. Hyperscalers such as Microsoft’s Azure fill this need and are less affected by these constraints due to the economies of scale.

June is all about staying informed! From viewing cost on the go from the Azure mobile app to a new API for cost alerts and an updated schema for budget alerts.

Since 2009, Microsoft and SUSE have partnered to provide Azure-optimized solutions for SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES).

The global events of the last couple of years have introduced significant changes to how companies operate and the way we work, accelerating digital transformation for many as they seek the additional flexibility, scale, and cost savings of the cloud.

May introduces Microsoft Cost Management, anomaly detection alerts, improved cost monitoring for Azure Lab Services, and more.

As businesses adapt to new ways of operating, IT leaders are presented with increasing challenges to achieving sustainable growth. Ensuring your business continues to run without interruptions while adapting and transforming can be paramount.
