MS Build Developer Conference 2020. – Some important announcements

MS Build Developer Conference 2020. – Some important announcements

News 1#

Per the Azure portal, Microsoft has 58 Azure regions worldwide and available in 140 countries. As per MS Build 2020, it is announced that Microsoft has extended 3 more Azure regions which is a great leap in cloud computing. As per the latest announcement, the number has reached to 61. Wow…

It has officially left AWS and Google behind the race. As per MS-Build 2020 conference, the Azure alone has more regions than AWS and Google together. The below snapshot gives more clarity.


The Azure lovers would celebrate this for sure.

Microsoft has announced, “Azure Static Web Apps” in this developer conference. This is an awesome service provided by Microsoft Azure team. It is a great work behind delivering this super cool service.

Microsoft Azure and GitHub came together and jointly given the privilege to developer community to automatically builds and deploys full-stack web apps to Azure from a GitHub repository.


The GitHub Actions workflow works in the background. When you create an Azure static web application, Azure sets-up a GitHub actions workflow in the application’s source code repository that looks at the code branch of developer’s wish. Whenever the developer commits any changes to the repository, the GitHub actions invokes and build the application and if successful then immediately deploys the application and its API to Azure. So cool… I’m sure, it would make the developers’ life super easy.
