Event-driven autoscaling, microservices runtime, change-driven processing, secure container patching, and multi-cloud application modeling
🚀 Unlock the potential of open-source projects incubated by Mark Russinovich’s Azure CTO team — tools designed not only for cloud platforms but to empower developers everywhere.
🔹 Feature: Event-driven autoscaling, microservices runtime, change-driven processing, secure container patching, and multi-cloud application modeling.
🔹 What It Does: Enables faster, more reliable, and secure development and operations by combining scalability (KEDA), microservice building blocks (Dapr), data-driven automation (Drasi), vulnerability patching (Copa), and cloud-neutral application management (Radius).
✅ KEDA: Kubernetes Event-Driven Autoscaler — extends the native Kubernetes Horizontal Pod Autoscaler (HPA) to support event-based scaling (including scale-to-zero) by observing external event sources (queues, streams, databases, etc.). KEDA+2KEDA+2
✅ Dapr: A portable, event-driven runtime for building microservices — provides building blocks such as service-to-service invocation, state management, pub/sub, actor model, and observability in a platform-agnostic manner.
✅ Drasi: A data change processing platform — designed to continuously monitor data sources (logs, change feeds) via Sources, evaluate them with Continuous Queries, and issue Reactions automatically, enabling near real-time, declarative change-driven systems. Drasi is now part of the CNCF Sandbox. Microsoft Azure+3CNCF+3Microsoft Open Source+3
✅ Copa (Project Copacetic): A container image patching tool — enables direct patching of OS-level vulnerabilities in container images based on vulnerability scanner reports (e.g. from Trivy), without full rebuilds, reducing turnaround time for security updates. It is a CNCF Sandbox project. GitHub+3Microsoft Open Source+3GitHub+3

✅ Radius: Cloud-neutral application platform / resource manager — allows developers to model applications (services, dependencies) while platform teams define Recipes to map those models to infrastructure. Radius provides a unified application graph, multi-cloud deployment, and separation of concern between app definitions and platform implementation.
