Important Notes
Azure services lifecycle
Remember that Azure keeps on updating their services from time to time. They will add new features of even deploy newer services from time to time.
Refer to the link for all updates to Azure services - https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/updates/
For services in public preview , you can actually view them from the Azure portal itself. These services are available for review for all customers.
Note that it is not advisable to deploy resources based on these services to your production environment because there would be no SLA attached to these services.
You can view services in private preview - Here you need to request Microsoft to preview these services.
Also keep a note that any services that go out of support , Microsoft will give you at least 12 months of prior notification
