Similarly Github Actions is reusing a lot of Azure Pipelines under the hood.
One of the most impressive parts about Microsoft's recent acquisitions is how quickly essentially two separate companies are now sharing code. It's hard enough to get different teams/products in the same company to use shared code in a meaningful way, and Microsoft has accomplished it with a new company.
- dkarlovi 6y agoHaving APIs designed for public consumption probably helped.
- jopsen 6y agoMy experience with azure storage didn't make me think it was "designed"...
- Lorin 6y agoEvolved via natural selection perhaps?
- cure 6y agoAzure storage is definitely the black sheep. They cleaned up the VM/compute layer a few years ago with the introduction of Azure Resource Manager (ARM), but storage hasn't gotten that big an overhaul yet. And it shows. They seem to be slowly improving things under the hood though...
- toomuchtodo 6y agoHopefully they’ll eventually provide an S3 compatibility layer like everyone else.
- techpop10 6y agoGive Azure NetApp Files a test drive. World of difference.
- geewee 6y agoWhat's the issue with Azure Storage? It seems to me like it's one of the azure cloud services that are the least painful to use - at least through the official SDKs
- op03 6y agoAll that is nice. But who are they building this for? Who is asking for this stuff?
- dotancohen 6y agoSo I suppose that you would like a faster horse?
- op03 6y agoWhen someone builds something and doesn't actually mention why, its not unreasonable to ask what the motivation was...
- zerkten 6y agoHave you asked them? You can hit up pretty much anyone these days on Twitter and they'll respond, if the question is reasonable. You make it sound like someone owes you a response. If this is about GitHub Actions specifically there is quite a bit of info at https://github.blog/2019-08-08-github-actions-now-supports-ci-cd/ https://github.blog/2019-08-08-github-actions-now-supports-c.... My takeaway is that it's about packaging up Azure Pipelines in a way that GitHub users understand and complements other features. There are more jarring ways to integrate the products.
- xpe 6y ago> You make it sound like someone owes you a response. I didn't interpret the comment that way. BTW, I'm not saying your interpretation is "not true" or "crazy" or anything like that. I just think it is better to keep this kind of (bad faith) interpretation private. I think it is useful to remember this HN guideline "Please respond to the strongest plausible interpretation of what someone says, not a weaker one that's easier to criticize. Assume good faith." [1] The benefit, which is not spelled out there, is that if more of us do this, there will be fewer amplifications / chain-reactions of misinterpretations. This results in a more useful discussion.

- inopinatus 6y agoGitHub’s acquisition of Microsoft is really paying off.
- 7hero 6y agoThanks to Microsoft maybe it will be possible to code seriously on an iPad. Hey Apple look at this!
