Our team summarized the most relevant and interesting updates from the Azure Cloud world that were announced in January 2021. Some topics, as you will see, are not directly related to Azure, however our team finds them important and relevant for all those who are eager to learn more and also appreciate some valuable insights into software engineering. So you will read\u00a0 about the future of Identity Server, Azure Key Vault, some Kubernetes-related topics and much more. Furthermore, we want to announce our next Azure Rosenheim meetup and inform you what to expect on March 8th. We will be more than happy in case you join us and learn with us!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the Azure Quota REST API, you can look up the current usage, quota limits, and request quota increases of your services, and manage them accordingly. Today, you can use the quota API to programmatically manage Azure virtual machines and Azure Machine Learning services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The future of Identity Server<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The current version of IdentityServer (version v4.x) is the last version that will continue to be developed as a free open source. They will continue to support IdentityServer4 until the end of life of .NET Core 3.1 in November 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IdentityServer4 will be renamed to Duende IdentityServer<\/strong> and will target .NET 5 and versions beyond. This new product will remain open source, but it will be offered with a dual license (RPL and commercial).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
