History and differences with Microsoft Azure Toolkit for IntelliJ

The Azure Toolkit for JetBrains Rider is a fork of the Azure Toolkit for IntelliJ, available on GitHub.

Microsoft's Azure Toolkit for IntelliJ provides similar functionality to the Azure plugin for JetBrains Rider, however, focus on the Java/JVM ecosystem and development flows. JetBrains decided to fork the original plugin, and split base functionality (such as browsing Azure resources) from Java/JVM-specific features (such as deploying a .war file to the HDInsight service).

The Azure Toolkit for JetBrains Rider is released with several notable differences:

• No telemetry or usage data is collected and sent to Microsoft
• Java/JVM-specific functionality was removed
• .NET-specific functionalities, such as deploying an ASP.NET web application and more, have been added
