Azure Weekly

Issue #23 - 25th April 2015

This week in the Azure ecosystem, Premium Storage and Stream Analytics entered general availability. There were new arrivals in the form of Docker Client for Windows (part of the Docker 1.6 release), the Universal Windows Apps SDK for Azure Mobile Engagement, Azure Media Player and Spanish language support for the Azure Media Indexer.

The Storage team described the Append Blob, coming in Q3 this year. Append Blobs can be modified by adding blocks to the end of the blob via a new 'Append Block' operation - the appended block will be accessible immediately. This is perfectly suited for logging & auditing scenarios.

There's new guidance from the Patterns & Practices team who have published a set of guides on GitHub, covering API DesignAPI implementation, AutoscalingBackground jobsCDNCachingData partitioningMonitoring and diagnosticsRetryScalability and availability.
