Azure Hybrid Cloud
Microsoft’s cloud strategy has traditionally emphasized hybrid cloud deployments, which allow businesses to run workloads in both the public cloud and their own data centers. This is the logical result of Azure Stack, its project for putting core Azure services into the corporate data center.
The reasoning goes that if developers can target a single platform for both public and private cloud deployments, hybrid deployments will become almost straightforward. Microsoft has handed the first release version of Azure Stack to its hardware partners after a year of technical previews, allowing them to complete their certification process.
Partners including Dell EMC, HPE, and Lenovo will begin releasing integrated systems with Azure Stack in September, according to Microsoft’s Inspire conference today. Other partners, including Huawei and Cisco, are planning to debut their systems soon.
These systems, which will be offered in 46 countries at first, are designed for multi-server production deployments. However, to assist developers, the firm today announced the availability of a free single-server kit (the Azure Stack Development Kit), which can be downloaded now.
The Azure interface, services, development tools, and access to Marketplace content will be included in the free development kit. Several users wanted to use Azure Stack to power their apps at the network’s edge during the technical preview phase, according to the team (or even completely disconnected from the wider internet).
For example, banks may want to do so for security concerns, or oil exploration companies may need to establish their own mini-data centers in remote areas where access is not guaranteed.
Carnival Cruise Line, which is implementing Azure Stack on several of its ships to power many of the day-to-day operations of running a big cruise ship, is another example Microsoft loves to highlight. Microsoft has a long history of developing data center apps and services.
It’s been there for a long time, thanks to Windows Server and Systems Center. Unsurprisingly, Windows Server is also at the heart of Azure Stack, but the business is taking a unique way to deliver Azure Stack to its customers.
