Announcements

Today we are excited to launch two new key capabilities to Azure Firewall.

For read-heavy workloads that you are looking to scale out, you can use read replicas, which are now generally available to all Azure Database for MySQL users.

Ensure security and limit access to your MariaDB server with the virtual network (VNet) service endpoints now generally available for Azure Database for MariaDB.

Security can be a never-ending saga—a chronicle of increasingly sophisticated attacks, volumes of alerts, and long resolution timeframes where today’s Security Information and Event Management (SIEM) products can’t keep pace.

Today, we are very excited to announce the general availability of Azure Lab Services – your computer labs in the cloud.

We strive with every service to provide experiences that significantly improve the development experience. We’re always looking for common pain points that everybody building software in the cloud deals with. And once we find those pain points, we build best-of-class software to address the need.

We are happy to announce that Metric Alerts with Dynamic Thresholds is now available in public preview. Dynamic Thresholds are a significant enhancement to Azure Monitor Metric Alerts.

It’s amazing to look back at everything we’ve learned from our customers since we first released HoloLens.

Azure Functions provides a productive programming model based on triggers and bindings for accelerated development and serverless hosting of event-driven applications.

Most IoT solutions, including our Azure IoT reference architecture, use several different services. An IoT message, starting from the device, could flow through a dozen or more services before it is stored or visualized.

We have been incredibly excited to be a part of the rise of event-driven programming as a core building block for cloud application architecture.

On February 7, 2019 we announced the general availability of Azure Data Lake Storage (ADLS) Gen2.
