Preview portal with early access to new Azure functionality

Most recently, I published an article about how we built the cloud infrastructure in Azure for our customer. In the article I listed the problems that we encountered during the development and implementation of our solution. Since the events described occurred a year ago, and the Microsoft cloud is developing very quickly, most of these problems are no longer relevant. And the other day I learned that another difficulty with Azure is a thing of the past - collecting quota information from various sources. I suggest you read the note by Chris Pietschmann about the appearance of the portal (more Azure portals are needed! :)) of early access to the new functionality. The material is published with some delay - most of the innovations have already reached the main portal.

Now that the “current” portal has become fully operational, and the services and functionality from the “classic” portal are gradually becoming obsolete, Microsoft has made available the NEW early access portal. The new portal allows you to use the functionality that has not yet appeared in the main Azure portal. A peculiar way to look early at the updates for the portal itself.

The Azure Early Access Portal can be found at the following link: https://preview.portal.azure.com

Below are some features that you can now take a look at the new portal:

• Full-screen panels - The Azure portal has been optimized for large and small screens, including the addition of full-screen panels. This allows you to put more information on the panel, reducing the need to use the scroll bar when working with the portal.
  
  
  
  
  
• Use and quotas - quotas and current use of Azure services, finally, can be viewed in one place ( Note - with convenient filters! ).
  
  
  
  
  
• Performance - Microsoft has worked on the portal to improve its responsiveness and download speed. Improvements of this kind will be checked on the new early access portal before deploying them on the main portal.
• Notifications - Now you can view notifications on the portal without having to go to another panel with the loss of information displayed in the current panel.
  
  
  
  
  
• Accessibility - We see some improvements in the readability and usability of the portal, which make it clearer for all users.

You can leave Microsoft feedback on the new early access portal in the following ways:

1. Leave a message on the Azure Feedback Portal
2. Post a comment on Twitter @AzurePortal (you can also subscribe to it to learn about news related to the portal)
3. Click on the smile icon in the upper right part of the Azure portal window.

Here you can find the original announcement of these innovations on the Microsoft Azure portal .

I wish you a good look into the future!
