We\u2019ve now completed work on the initial release of <a href=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/overview\/azure-stack\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Azure Stack<\/a> along with our hardware partners. I\u2019m at Microsoft Ignite today, speaking with tens of thousands of our best enterprise IT customers, and they are all excited about this release.

While the certification exam will be available in Q1 CY18, you can begin your preparation today by taking an Azure Stack course from one of our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.microsoft.com\/en-us\/learning\/course.aspx?cid=20537\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Microsoft Learning Partners<\/a> or <a href=\"https:\/\/aka.ms\/AzureStackMOOC\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">online<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"true-hybrid-application-innovation\">True hybrid application innovation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every customer I talk to has (or is working on) a cloud strategy to deliver differentiated customer experiences and transform the way they do business. Most of them also have significant on-premises investments \u2013 they\u2019re looking to build modern applications across cloud and on-premises environments, along with the flexibility to deploy them to meet business policies and regulatory requirements. This was the primary motivator for us to build Azure Stack as an on-premises extension of Azure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Azure and Azure Stack deliver the industry\u2019s only truly consistent hybrid cloud platform, which enables a unified approach to application development and unlocks completely new <a href=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/overview\/azure-stack\/use-cases\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">use case scenarios<\/a>, as well as <a href=\"https:\/\/azure.microsoft.com\/en-us\/overview\/azure-stack\/how-to-buy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pay-as-you-use<\/a>&nbsp;pricing. Customers are investing in the hybrid cloud model using Azure and Azure Stack \u2013 including AVID, ABSA Bank, ANZ Bank, <a href=\"https:\/\/customers.microsoft.com\/en-us\/story\/mitsui-co\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Mitsui Knowledge Industry<\/a>, Saxo Bank, and Schlumberger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Simply stated, we\u2019re committed to bring Azure services virtually everywhere to help drive our customers\u2019 businesses forward.

You don\u2019t need to do this with Azure, as Microsoft does that work. To make sure you are successful, we are sharing our learnings and best practices running Azure so you can successfully do the same across your hybrid cloud environments. Accordingly, we\u2019re investing deeply in \u201cAzure Stack Operator\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/borntolearn.mslearn.net\/b\/weblog\/posts\/announcing-three-new-azure-exams\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">training and certification<\/a> programs that will equip you with the people, process, and technology expertise to thrive during this time of change. These new valuable skills will enable our Microsoft IT professionals to develop valuable skills as their organizations transition to cloud with Azure and Azure Stack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"one-azure-ecosystem-offerings\">One Azure Ecosystem offerings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our partner ecosystem has made available several offerings to help speed up your Azure Stack initiatives:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li class=\"wp-block-list-item\">ISVs are extending their Azure applications and services to Azure Stack, and we have a rapidly growing list of <a href=\"https:\/\/docs.microsoft.com\/en-us\/azure\/azure-stack\/azure-stack-marketplace-azure-items\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">validated offerings<\/a> including Bitnami, Chef, Docker, Kemp Technologies, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and SUSE Linux.
