Azure Weekly

Issue #47 - 10th October 2015

This is a rather large edition thanks to Tuesday's AzureCon event. There were several announcements, which are summarised on the Azure blog  and on Scott Guthrie's blog. You can also watch the sessions on the AzureCon site and Channel 9.

The over-arching theme of the event was 'the intelligent cloud', with a focus on innovative uses of data. Here are some highlights:

Although cloud infrastructure took a back seat at the conference, there were still plenty of wider platform announcements (information can be found on the on the Azure blog where there isn't a link):

There were several other announcements about preview services going into general availability, including the HDInsight on Linux, the App Service Environment, Azure Mobile Engagement, Live Encoding for Media Services, DV2 VMs, Azure File Storage, and Azure Backup of application workloads.
