Azure Government is excited to expand our partnership with Bitnami via the Azure Government Marketplace beyond the initial offering in Image Gallery. We are happy to announce the first wave of open source images published by Bitnami to the Azure Government marketplace. The first wave of free open source and Bring Your Own License (BYOL) licenses includes eXo Platform Enterprise, ReportServer Enterprise, Moodle, Gitlab, Code Dx, LAMP, Drupal, WordPress, Open edX.
Bitnami makes it incredibly easy to deploy apps with native installers, as virtual machines in the cloud. Bitnami has over a hundred applications in their library and we are actively working on bringing more applications which are popular with government customers into the Azure Government Marketplace in the coming weeks and months.
All Bitnami Apps for Azure have the following benefits:
- Up-to-date
- Bitnami has automated processes to track the latest release of all the applications that they support. Once a new version becomes available, Bitnami updates their applications as soon as possible.
- Secure
- Whenever vulnerabilities or serious security issues are discovered, Bitnami updates their applications as soon as there is an available fix.
- Optimized
- Bitnami applications are completely self-contained and bundle all of the libraries, databases, and runtimes required to run on any platform. Additionally, their applications are configured optimally for the most common scenarios out of the box.
- Consistent
- Bitnami applications are packaged following consistent standards. Whether you want to deploy an app as a VM or launch it in the cloud, the experienced is nearly identical.
- Orchestrated
- Many Bitnami applications are available with pre-built, multi-tier deployment (Microsoft ARM). These allow you to quickly deploy more sophisticated and scalable implementations with a single click.
