Mark Shuttleworth, Canonical – June 2012
 “Windows Azure was built for the enterprise market, an audience which is
increasingly comfortable with Ubuntu as a workhorse for scale-out
workloads; in short, it’s a good fit for both of us, and it’s been interesting
to do the work to bring Ubuntu to the platform.”
 “Just as we need to ensure that customers can run Ubuntu and Windows
together inside their data centre and on the LAN, we want to ensure that
cloud workloads play nicely.”
 “The team leading Azure has a sophisticated understanding of Ubuntu
and Linux in general.”
+ Apache Hadoop
+ Node.js
“Microsoft has built an impressive
new entrant to the Infrastructureas-a-Service market, and Ubuntu
is there for customers who want
to run workloads on Azure that
are best suited to Linux.“

With Windows Azure Media Services, you can stream video to HTML5, Flash, Silverlight,
Windows 8, iPad, iPhone, Android, Xbox, Windows Phone and other clients using a wide variety
of streaming formats:
As a developer, you can control Windows Azure Media Services by using REST APIs or .NET and
Java SDKs to build a media workflow that can automatically upload, encode and deliver
video. We’ve also developed a broad set of client SDKs and player frameworks which let you
build completely custom video clients that integrate in your applications.
