The Java team at Microsoft has been working hard during this year, collaborating with Java customers and developers around the globe to optimize the Java developer experience in Azure.
In the last few weeks, we’ve delivered exciting new features in Maven, Jenkins, Visual Studio Code and IntelliJ. These features help Java developers rapidly adopt cloud-native patterns in Azure and debug faster, as well as added support for Managed Disks, Cosmos DB and Container Service in the Azure Management Libraries for Java. We have collaborated with partners such as Red Hat, Pivotal, CloudBees and Azul to bring Java closer to the cloud.
