Issue 238: 18th August 2019
Although there was a similar announcement buried away in the updates channel last month, this week we've been told that the Azure Cosmos DB .NET SDK v3 is now generally available, with various usability and performance improvements. We've also been told about the general availability of Azure Ultra Disk Storage, "a new Managed Disks offering that delivers unprecedented and extremely scalable performance with sub-millisecond latency" for your demanding VM and container workloads. There is now also the preview of GitHub Actions for Azure, making it easier for devs to build, test and deploy code from GitHub repos to Azure. Remember - the rest of this week's announcements and updates are now part of the main body of the newsletter!
Issue 237: 11th August 2019
We'sre switching things up a little this week. As time has progressed and the larger Azure has grown, more and more updates and announcements have been making their way into this editorial. We've decided to stop with the long list of updates, and rather only cherry-pick a few. You'll find the rest in the main body of the newsletter, as you do every week. So, bear that in mind from now on! Here are this week's featured announcements:
