Announcement of the Russian-language catalog of solutions of independent developers certified for Microsoft Azure

Dear colleagues, I am pleased to present to your attention a Russian-language catalog of solutions of independent developers (ISV) certified for the Azure cloud platform.

This resource will host the already popular and completely new, recent, recently published solutions that have been certified for use in the Azure cloud and published in the Azure Marketplace solution store. We will use this portal as a place to promote solutions of independent developers, helping to acquire new users.

You can read below what decisions are, what the Azure Marketplace is and how to get into it.

Azure marketplace

We already talked about the purpose of the Azure Marketplace and the details of using the store for developers and IT professionals to deploy complex third-party solutions, as well as for independent software developers (ISVs) who want to enter new markets for distributing their solutions.

Azure Marketplace is a catalog of solutions, services, environment images of various complexity, ready for quick automatic deployment on the Azure platform.

The main idea of ​​the Azure Marketplace is to give an independent developer a sales channel for their solutions around the world, and Azure customers are an easy way to deploy functional solutions in their own infrastructure.

Many ISVs have already certified their solutions for Azure and placed them on the Azure Marketplace, including Red Hat, Oracle, CoreOS, MariaDB, Elasticsearch and hundreds of others. You can read more about some in this article , and a complete list of solutions is always available on the official Azure Marketplace website .


One of the most recent replenishment of Azure Marketplace has become an open database Tarantool, which is developed by Mail.ru. You can find out more about its use from the store in this article .

Azure Marketplace as a sales channel

We saw the Azure Marketplace as a powerful tool that makes it easier for developers and IT professionals to deploy solutions and organize environments based on different solutions in the Azure cloud. On the other hand, the Azure Marketplace is a powerful sales channel for independent software developers. Today, dozens of new solutions from companies from many countries are added to the store every month. These solutions receive various marketing support from Microsoft and additional promotion to the target audience. An example of such a promotion is the Microsoft Partner Apps channel .

The Azure Markertplace channel, with presence in more than hundreds of markets around the world, is a great way for any software developer to enter the world stage and start selling themselves anywhere in the world without the hassle of legal and tax issues.

Azure Marketplace in Russia

Today, developers from three dozen countries can publish solutions to Azure Marketplce. So far, Russia is not included in the list of such countries and publication for Russian developers is limited. However, several Russian companies with a global presence have already successfully published their solutions in the Azure Marketplace. Among them: of Kaspersky Labs , Veeam , Jelastic , NGINX and of Mail.ru .


The possibility of publishing decisions from Russia will be added in the near future. In the meantime, Russian developers and IT professionals can freely use the Azure Marketplace and third-party solutions to create interesting new projects based on the Azure cloud.

New Russian-language portal

Our new portal is designed to promote selected solutions from the Azure Marketplace to a Russian-speaking audience.

Using this portal, developers and IT professionals will be able to get acquainted with the solutions from the Azure Marketplace and find the ones suitable for their tasks.

On the portal we offer the following sections:
