Summary: Microsoft unveiled Azure Spring Cloud in partnership with Pivotal, which was recently acquired by sister company VMware for $2.7b. Spring Cloud is Pivotal’s framework to help Java developers build cloud applications. Azure Spring Cloud uses Kubernetes to make it easier to deploy and run Spring Cloud applications and micro-services on Azure. It is a fully managed service that is jointly built, operated and supported by Microsoft and Pivotal. It is currently in private preview and will go into public preview by the end of the year. Spring Cloud already has a version for AWS – Spring Cloud AWS – which seems to provide integration for AWS APIs rather than being a fully managed offering such as it has developed for Azure. Microsoft has been pusher deeper into supporting Java having bought jClarity this summer.
