• Open Source runtimes natively supported
Windows Azure
• Leveraging Open Source development
tools to build Windows Azure solutions
• Beyond the Web: Open
• Native Open Source services included in
Windows Azure

20. Open Source Development
Runtimes in Windows Azure

21. Windows Azure & NodeJS

23. NodeJS in Windows Azure
• Web Role
–Uses IISNode
• Worker Role
–Runs node.exe as role entry point
• PowerShell Cmdlets
• Windows Azure SDK for node.js

24. DEMO: Hacking with NodeJS
in Windows Azure

25. We Love Python too

26. Python is a programming language that lets
you work more quickly and integrate your
systems more effectively. You can learn to
use Python and see almost immediate gains
in productivity and lower maintenance costs.

27. Python in Windows Azure
• Python 2.7 support
• Compute: Website, Worker Roles
• Python client libraries
• Python tools for Visual Studio
• https://github.com/WindowsAzure/azure-
sdk-for-python
