Hi Spring fans! This week I’m in Redmond, hanging out with our friends and Pivotal partner Microsoft talking about Cloud Foundry on Microsoft Azure. As you may know, Microsoft’s Azure IaaS platform is the #2 most widely used cloud, and it’s growing! It’s got more datacenters than the other two cloud vendors in more regions (including in Germany and China!) and a huge raft of services that support both Windows and Linux operating systems. There’s so much exciting stuff coming up including Azure Stack, which runs Azure on-premise, and the amazing integration between Azure and PCF. I’m looking forward to hearing even more about Microsoft Azure this week at CF Summit in Santa Clara, which is where I’ll be on Wednesday and then it’s off to Utah for the Utah JUG. Come out, join me, and say hi!
- The Baeldung blog has a nice look at starting an application with Spring Boot.
- There’s some amazingly cool stuff happening on Microsoft Azure and it works particularly well with Spring and Pivotal Cloud Foundry. Learn more here with that free whitepaper.
