Microsoft Azure New Year Digest

    Hi,
    Continuing the tradition of summarizing before the New Year , we are releasing the New Year's digest in an abridged form.
    2014 was a productive year for Microsoft Azure - the platform entered new markets, the leaders in PaaS, IaaS and storage, according to  Gartner , there were many new services (from my favorite updates, for example, that Azure Backup now supports client versions of Windows ) . Those who followed the development of the platform could notice that in parallel with services used for corporate purposes, services began to appear that were also oriented towards the scientific environment - which only machine learning as a service and the development of HPC was worth. In 2015, we will find many more interesting things.
    The rebranding of Windows Azure in Microsoft Azure has also become big news - the fact that on the Microsoft platform a huge amount of resources is used by clients from OSS, shows that the platform is not only powerful, but also open.
    Under the cut you will find a short list of the main announcements with links. Also do not forget that we have a monthly news review with the tag azuredigest .
