We explore the various possibilities to deploy, run and operate Magento on Azure with best practices for dev/test environments and production environments. We also touch on setting up a CI architecture leveraging Azure support for technologies as Git repositories and Chef or Puppet VM based architectures

The Microsoft Open Source Momentum
Dead and buried:
Microsoft's holy war on
open-source software
“Years ago, Microsoft's CEO
described open source as a
cancer. Times have changed.
Just ask 22-year Redmond
veteran and open-source
proponent Mark Hill.”
Charles Cooper
Redmond top man
Satya Nadella:
'Microsoft LOVES Linux‘
Neil McAllister
Microsoft: the Open
Source Company
“This is not your dad’s
Microsoft”
Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols
“Azure Container Service is different
and offers the broadest hint yet that
Microsoft wants to build real
products with open source, not
merely leverage it where it's
convenient”
Serdar Yegulalp
