CloudMunch, the DevOps management platform provider, announced today it has integrated its DevOps platform with Microsoft Corp.’s Windows Azure cloud platform. Developers and IT operations teams can now utilize the Open DevOps Platform with their preferred tools for fast and easy continuous delivery of applications to Windows Azure instances. The integration builds on CloudMunch’s existing continuous delivery ecosystem, giving developers a full range of options to place the right workload on the right cloud based on technical and business needs.

“We have been using it for continuous delivery to Amazon Web Services for a year,” said Mahesh Nayak, CEO of eSparsh, “When eSparsh undertook to move to Windows Azure, it was seamless, thanks to CloudMunch open DevOps architecture, and today we are operating on and deploying to Windows Azure with ease. Continuous cloud delivery is a game changer for how quickly we can serve clients and it is our DevOps platform of choice.”

“Windows Azure is an open, flexible, and scalable cloud platform that enables developers to bring innovation to market faster,” said Vibhor Kapoor, Director, Windows Azure Product Marketing, Microsoft. “CloudMunch provides a comprehensive Open DevOps management platform with streamlined deployment and delivery of applications to Windows Azure, bringing greater agility to deployments. We are delighted to work with CloudMunch and valued customers like eSparsh.”

It’s integration with Windows Azure makes it easier for the larger Microsoft community to take advantage of Open DevOps and represents CloudMunch’s latest advance in realizing its promise of Open DevOps and application portability. With developers seeking to match infrastructure with workloads for peak utility and economic benefit, CloudMunch now makes it painless to move applications from existing deployment environments, including on-premise, managed hosting, or cloud Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), to new destinations such as Windows Azure. Windows Azure joins Amazon Web Services, OpenStack IaaS clouds, and Cloud Foundry Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) as continuous delivery options for the customers.

“At CloudMunch, we know it’s about choice, so we focus on giving development and operations the freedom to choose the best tools and cloud IaaS for their applications. We are excited to offer Window Azure for our customers who choose the Microsoft cloud ecosystem,” said Pradeep Prabhu, CEO CloudMunch. “CloudMunch unites various Dev and Ops workflows with an even wider array of Dev and Ops tools into a powerful DevOps management platform to facilitate cross-team and any-cloud continuous delivery.” said Prasanna Raghavendra, CTO CloudMunch.
