Announcements

In today’s security-first digital age, ensuring secure connectivity to IoT devices is of paramount importance.

We are pleased to announce the general availability for Azure HDInsight Tools for Visual Studio Code (VSCode). HDInsight Tools for VSCode give developers a cross-platform lightweight code editor for developing HDInsight PySpark and Hive batch jobs and interactive query.

Since our preview announcement, hundreds of customers have been moving recurring workloads, media captures from automobiles, incremental transfers for ongoing backups, and archives from remote/office branch offices (ROBOs) to Microsoft Azure.

Earlier this year in July, we announced the public preview for Virtual Network Service Endpoints and Firewall rules for both Azure Event Hubs and Azure Service Bus. Today, we’re excited to announce that we are making these capabilities generally available to our customers.

Applying the latest in deep learning innovation, Speech Service, part of Azure Cognitive Services now offers a neural network-powered text-to-speech capability. Access the preview available today.

We are happy to announce that Azure Monitor for containers is now generally available. Azure Monitor for containers monitors the health and performance of Kubernetes clusters hosted on Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS).

We’re excited to share the general availability of Virtual Network (VNet) Service Endpoints for Azure SQL Data Warehouse in all Azure public cloud regions.

Azure Availability Zones are unique fault-isolated physical locations, within an Azure region, with independent power, network, and cooling. Each Availability Zone is comprised of one or more datacenters and houses infrastructure to support highly available, mission critical applications with fault tolerance to datacenter failures.

Azure API Management is a fully managed service that enables customers to publish, secure, transform, maintain, and monitor APIs.

Today, we are announcing the general availability of Azure Stream Analytics (ASA) on IoT Edge, empowering developers to deploy near-real-time analytical intelligence closer to IoT devices, unlocking the full value of device-generated data.

Today we are announcing we have open sourced Open Neural Network Exchange (ONNX) Runtime on GitHub. ONNX Runtime is a high-performance inference engine for machine learning models in the ONNX format on Linux, Windows, and Mac.

There is no denying the momentum of the Kubernetes platform and ecosystem, with virtually every enterprise looking to run containers at scale at some stage of adopting it.
