Today every company is a software company. Across all industries from retail to healthcare to financial services and more, software is at the heart of every company’s strategy.

With GitHub and Azure DevOps, Microsoft is helping developers plan, build and ship any app, from large enterprise solutions to open source projects.

To be a good developer is to be a perpetual learner; it is essential for survival.

Today, Microsoft announced a new partnership with OpenAI, a nonprofit AI research organization co-founded by Elon Musk, Sam Altman, Greg Brockman and Ilya Sutskever.

Microsoft Azure supports the diverse needs of every developer. At //Build, Scott Guthrie announced a range of innovations to help developers make the leap to the cloud by embracing key technology trends: mobile app development, Internet of Things, microservices and intelligence.

As part of our promise to deliver the best customer value on Azure, we have had a longstanding commitment to make our prices comparable on commodity services like compute, storage, and bandwidth relative to Amazon Web Services.

Today we’re announcing new technologies and capabilities that advance our mission to make Azure the preferred cloud for any app and every developer — from back-end cloud services to higher level platform services, to the development process itself.

Looking back on AzureCon, and looking ahead to the future, including a feature that lets you Bring Your Own Licenses (BYOL) to Azure.

In just one week, Azure experts will be diving into exclusive keynotes, demos and providing over 60 sessions built out for any level of cloud expertise. To enhance the experience, we wanted to do something more: hands-on Azure access to practical learnings.

With less than two weeks to go until AzureCon, the lineup of speakers, presentations and demos is shaping up to be very compelling.
