Microsoft announces Microsoft Azure Preview Portal

The second day of the Build 2014 developer conference, Microsoft unveiled Microsoft Azure Preview portal--'s first cloud environment for the industry to integrate technologies, services, and tools across platforms, enabling developers and businesses to quickly implement cloud development innovations. Microsoft, meanwhile, has announced Microsoft's important initiatives on visual Studio online and. NET to build the most complete platform and tools for developers to build their cloud computing business. This series of innovative initiatives is an important part of the long-term planning that Microsoft is determined to help customers clear the difficulties they encounter in the operations, management , Cloud development .

Scott Guthrie, executive vice president of Microsoft's Cloud and Enterprise division, said: "IT development is becoming quite complex in today's mobile and cloud-First world, and Microsoft is currently committed to simplifying it without sacrificing speed, choice, cost and quality." Imagine that in this world, infrastructure and platform services will eventually seamlessly merge, and as long as this is achieved, developers and IT professionals do not need to work in disparate cloud environments. Microsoft is tackling the problem by speeding up its pace of innovation, and now Microsoft is taking a big step towards that goal. The

Simple and consistent cloud development experience

The new Microsoft Azure Preview Portal delivers a fully integrated development experience that enables customers to develop and manage applications in the same workspace using their own chosen platforms and tools. The new portal integrates all cloud application development components into a simple development and management experience. The new components and features provided include:

• Simplified resource management: Users can now create, manage, and analyze the entire application as a resource group in a consistent, customizable interface without having to manage separate resources such as Microsoft Azure Web Services, Visual Studio projects or databases, This significantly reduces the complexity of development while making it possible for large-scale applications. This latest version of the Azure SDK Development Kit also offers a new Azure Manager, through which customers can deploy and manage automation with any client or device.

• Consolidated billing: A new integrated billing experience allows developers and IT professionals to control costs and optimize resources to ensure maximum business benefits.

• Resource pool: A rich resource pool provides a wealth of applications and services from both Microsoft and the open source community, a resource market that integrates free and paid services to enable users to make full use of ecosystem resources and achieve more flexible and efficient development.

Visual Studio Online: Microsoft announces some key improvements based on the Microsoft Azure Preview Portal. The team projects will provide greater flexibility in application lifecycle management, and the simple editor code-named "Monaco" can modify and submit web page code without leaving Azure. It also includes creator Insights, an analytical tool that collects data such as lifetime, performance, and usage information to track the health of an application. Integration with Visual Studio allows developers to get a little bit of these critical data about new applications.

In addition, Microsoft has announced the release of the Microsoft Azure Web Services Java applications, providing more extensive support for Web applications.

. NET Innovation

Microsoft also shares the target. NET Developer's new initiatives:

.net Compiler Platform preview (code-named "Roslyn"): This platform takes C # and the Visual Basic assembler as an API, allowing developers to share a lot of code-related information stored by the assembler. This feature is also open source, allowing. NET and Visual Studio developers to develop new application prospects.

•. NET fund: Guthrie with Xamarin Muguel de Icaza jointly announced the establishment of the. NET Fund. This is an independent organization designed to promote open source development and help. NET open source technology growth cooperation. It will serve as a forum for business and community developers to promote through open source, community involvement and rapid innovation. The future development of net ecosystem.
