Projects improving cluster scale and density- this includes capabilities and mechanisms for large service footprints, managing 20x more physical machines and services than it does today, schemes to improve VM density, reducing cluster fragmentation, increase utilization of compute cores; expanding azure capabilities for containers (Docker/Hyper-V Containers), etc. We are building a set of highly scalable, highly available, micro services that will be the next generation of the Compute Fabric and provide service management for all azure compute services.

Projects involving end customer service uptime and availability - applying and building machine learning to build a 'Smarter' kernel that can be adaptive to events in the datacenter and services to decide on actions - especially when needed to increase service availability and uptime. We are also working with Windows and Hyper-V on Live Migration and its capabilities into the Azure platform.

Projects around service reliability and performance - provide extremely reliable and fast on-demand compute instances irrespective of the size and scale of the service (multiple orders of magnitude faster than today).
