<p>The <a target="_blank" href="https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/marketplace/partners/microsoft-ads/linux-data-science-vm/">Linux edition of the Data Science Virtual Machine</a> on Microsoft Azure was <a target="_blank" href="https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/machinelearning/2016/09/13/recent-updates-to-the-microsoft-data-science-virtual-machine/">recently upgraded</a>. The Linux DSVM includes Microsoft R, Anaconda Python, Jupyter, CNTK and many other data science and machine learning tools, new or upgraded for this release. This <a target="_blank" href="http://www.eweek.com/developer/microsoft-beefs-up-linux-data-science-virtual-machine.html">eWeek story gives an overview of the improvements</a>, but the highlights are:</p>
<ul>
<li><a target="_blank" href="https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/cloud-platform/r-server">Microsoft R Server</a> (developer edition) is now included. This includes the complete R distribution from CRAN, plus additional <a target="_blank" href="https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-r/scaler-user-guide-introduction">data-analysis functions with big-data capabilities</a>, and the <a target="_blank" href="https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-r/deployr-about">DeployR framework</a> for integrating R into applications as a web service. (The developer edition is identical to the enterprise Microsoft R Server edition, but licensed for development/test use.).</li>
<li><a target="_blank" href="https://github.com/jupyterhub/jupyterhub">JupyterHub</a> is now included, allowing multiple users to collaborate on Jupyter Notebooks (including R and/or Python code) simultaneously.</li>
<li>A new data science language, <a target="_blank" href="http://julialang.org/">Julia</a>, is now included. You can program in Julia from the command line or from a Jupyter notebook. </li>
</ul>

<p>The <a target="_blank" href="https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/marketplace/partners/microsoft-ads/standard-data-science-vm/">Windows edition of the Data Science VM</a> has also been updated, and now includes SQL Server 2016 (developer edition) with <a target="_blank" href="https://msdn.microsoft.com/library/mt674876.aspx">R Services</a> for in-database R processing.</p>
<p>Both editions of the Data Science VM are available on Microsoft Azure in a variety of configurations of RAM, cores, and disk. There are no software costs; you pay only the hourly Azure infrastructure charge to use it.
