Updates to Azure HDInsight

Fully supported distributions of Apache analytics projects such as Spark, Hadoop and Kafka are now available for HDInsight. Azure customers will benefit from Apache analytics frameworks that are deeply integrated with the Azure platform (storage, networking, security and monitoring) and optimised for the cloud (agility, performance and elasticity). All of these innovations added to the Apache projects will be made available under the Apache licence. Also, we will soon launch a next generation of HDInsight with requested features, such as improved provisioning and management experience, reserved instance pricing, low-priority VMs and auto-scale.
