Distributed systems to AI platforms with Mark Russinovich & Ion Stoica | BRK227
Microsoft announced an Azure and Anyscale (Ray) partnership at Build.
“actually today we also announced with a partnership between Azure and any scale and any scale is around ray”
In a self-moderated Build fireside chat, Mark Russinovich and Ion Stoica discussed AI infrastructure and announced a new Azure-Anyscale partnership centered on Ray, extending Microsoft's existing Azure Databricks/Spark collaboration. It signals deeper Azure integration of open-source distributed AI compute frameworks (Ray, vLLM) but is framed as a general conversation rather than a major standalone product launch.
