Announcements

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

The Azure Messaging team is continually working to enhance the resiliency and availability of our service offerings – Azure Service Bus, Azure Event Hubs, and Azure Event Grid.

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’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.

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.

Today, we are excited to announce another wave of functionality that will continue accelerating companies towards achieving their scenarios faster with Azure IoT Remote Monitoring.

Today, we are announcing the general availability of Azure Machine Learning service. Azure Machine Learning service contains many advanced capabilities designed to simplify and accelerate the process of building, training, and deploying machine learning models.
