Indeed it feels like Christmas :-D, so let's spend today's hackathon playing with the new cloud based infrastructure to start Mongo+Node + OAUTH endpoints + etc. The point of entry is portal.azure.com. If you use your SBM id you will be recognized into the Stony Brook Medicine contract. Here are some things to try, add our own. Main goal is to validate NM (Node+Mongo).
1. NodeJS
a) create web application
b) chose code source (git, dropbox, one drive etc)
cheatsheet for git

Example of SSL + CORS node service configured in Azure: https://i2workshop.azurewebsites.net
Code at https://gist.github.com/jonasalmeida/d85c47b0808e76c0eb68
2. MongoDB
Done, also worked beautifully :-), connected to SBU-BMI and a SBM-IT mongolab backends entirely through Azure (credentials target ds056288.mongolab.com)
3. Connect 1 and 2 and maybe try a MEAN application
Don't, managing is a mess ...
4. Start images from Docker
maybe something with spark + jupyter notebooks
looks ok in principle, but didn't get there
