Microsoft Azure Stack Technical Preview 3 is now available
Microsoft has announced an extension of Azure technologies on-premises, as well as a couple of Azure Stack updates. According to a blog post announcing the new features, the updates will enable organizations with hybrid cloud environments to have the same flexibility and innovation capability to match their business objectives and app design.
Organizations looking to create new apps, or re-work their current ones, on both cloud and on-premises environments, now have three unique hybrid cloud scenarios on offer.
- Consistent hybrid application development. Organizations get to choose from a "worldwide pool of talent," meaning they can get productive on day one, and be very flexible moving from one project to another.
- Azure services available on-premises. Azure IaaS and PaaS services can be delivered on-premises, allowing companies to adopt hybrid cloud computing, based on what they require, both on a business and on a technical level.
- Purpose-built systems for operational excellence. Azure Stack is delivered through integrated systems that are designed to continuously incorporate Azure innovation in a predictable, non-disruptive manner.
Microsoft also released the Technical Preview 3 for Azure stack, which is now available for download. There’s also the model on-premises, with pay-as-you-use pricing.
"Our goal is to ensure that organizations choosing hybrid cloud environments have this same flexibility and innovation capability to match their business objectives and application designs," writes Microsoft’s Jeffrey Snover.
