Azure is now bigger, faster, more open, and more secure

As has been the trend, Microsoft has released several updates to Azure this month.  Among them are the first Docker image for Linux, larger VM's and improved security key management.  The new G-series VM's offer up to 32 v-CPU's and over 7TB of local SSD storage.  As far as I know, these are the largest VM's you can find in the cloud, proving Microsoft is ready to run your tier 1 services in Azure.  Read all about it on the Azure Blog.
