Technical Preview of Azure Stack now available for download

  • Articolo

Hi everyone, I just wanted to let you know that the first Technical Preview of Azure Stack is now available for download. And if you’re not quite sure how Azure Stack can benefit you and your organization, we also have a whitepaper that covers the key concepts and capabilities that should help you gain a much richer understanding of what this solution has to offer. You can find the whitepaper here.

The  Tech Preview for Azure Stack includes the following capabilities which help you deliver Azure services in your datacenter:

  • Developer and IT professional experiences: Azure portal experiences for application developers and service administrators
  • Unified application model: Azure Resource Manager
  • Foundational services: Compute (Virtual Machines and Virtual Machine Extensions), Networking (Virtual Network, Software Load Balancer, Distributed Firewall) and Storage (Blobs and Tables)
  • Core services: Subscription management (identity and quotas), role-based access control, metering and audit
  • Application components: Curated Azure Resource Manager templates and Azure-consistent VM extensions (such as Desired State Configuration and Docker/Linux integration) to help you jumpstart your Azure Stack efforts

All of the documentation for the Azure Stack tech preview can be found here so check it out to learn more on how to get started and test-drive the scenarios. If you run into any issues and need help, or if you’d like to provide feedback or make requests, you can do so by visiting the Azure Stack forum.
