You could already run Jenkins on Azure just fine. This announces a business partnership but I don't understand what other implications there are. It seems to me that the big three cloud providers are trying very hard to decommoditize themselves by becoming semi-proprietary platforms. In some cases, such as AWS databases or Microsoft's machine learning APIs, there is a lot of reality there. But in most other cases it's not terribly hard to achieve the same thing with open software on commodity cloud servers.
