In 2018 we (re)-open-sourced MS‑DOS 1.25 and 2.11, and more recently in 2024 we were able to make the source for MS‑DOS 4.0 available to the public as well. Today, on 86-DOS 1.00’s 45th anniversary, we’re continuing that tradition with the earliest DOS source code discovered to date.
We all know it; first impressions are the most lasting. As in real-world, sluggish load times can leave a negative impression for any website and even negatively affect your business. Below we’ll walk through how Azure CDN can improve that first impression, speeding up websites hosted on WordPress or Joomla.
In recent years, many developers have discovered the power of distributed tracing for debugging regressions and performance issues in their backend systems, especially for those of us with complex microservices architectures.
Social media has some great benefits for developers, in their careers and in connecting with their communities. This post kicks off a blog series that will describe the value I’ve gotten from social media and what I’ve learned about specific social media platforms, including tips for using each platform effectively.
In order to provide more clarity into what’s changed in each Terraform AzureRM provider release, we’re kicking off a blog series that will provide the highlights for each release. We will continue to provide details on every release in the Change Log for the provider within the GitHub repo as well.
A lot goes into making open source great – from licenses to code to community. A key part of doing open source right is being able to trust that the code you receive complies with its open source licenses. It’s a deceptively hard problem and one that Microsoft is working with the community to address.
Continuing with our approach to delivering a consistent and trustworthy acquisition experience for Microsoft container images, we are pleased to announce updates for the Microsoft Container Registry (MCR).
The service mesh may sound complex, but at its heart, it’s a very simple idea: a set of network proxies that transparently run alongside microservices, implementing reliability, observability, and security features by measuring and manipulating inter-service (“east-west”) traffic.
In today’s demanding business environment, processing massive amounts of data each millisecond is becoming a common business requirement. We are excited to be announcing that an internal Microsoft project known as Trill—for processing “a trillion events per day”—is now being open sourced.
Building reliable and performant distributed programs that span cloud machines and devices is a challenging endeavor, but one that more and more developers are required to tackle. Foremost among the challenges is effectively handling restart, reconnection, and recovery to a valid state.
Python is a great language for building web apps, and Django is one of the most popular frameworks. It lets developers create web apps fast, including modern RESTful APIs, with security and scalability in mind.
We’re so excited to share that Phippy is headed to the Cloud Native Computing Foundation (CNCF)! Microsoft has donated Phippy and friends, along with our original book The Illustrated Children Guide to Kubernetes, to CNCF! What does this mean? It means that the characters you know and love are now free to use as you.
Over the past year or so the Azure upstream open source team has been investing heavily in making serverless Kubernetes a reality. We firmly believe that the Kubernetes operational model can be simplified by removing the burden of managing VMs and by making containers first class compute runtimes on the cloud.
