LocalStack for Azure simulates Azure application behavior on your safe, local infrastructure, allowing developers and AI agents to build reliable applications without the delays, costs, or complexity of deploying to the cloud.
Join the waitlist to be the first to access LocalStack’s enterprise-grade platform for building, testing, and validating applications for Microsoft Azure.
LocalStack for Azure is an enterprise-grade local cloud development platform that simulates Microsoft Azure application environments in a lightweight container that runs on your safe, locally hosted infrastructure. It lets you develop and test Azure workloads locally, reducing reliance on shared cloud environments for dev and test, while cutting the overhead of access provisioning, preventing non-production cloud spend, and eliminating the complexity that holds back testing and debugging.
Public Preview is targeted for September 2026. Joining the waitlist gets you early access the moment it opens, plus updates on timelines and documentation ahead of launch. No commitment required.
Public Preview covers the Azure services used in typical enterprise software architectures, including AKS, Azure Container Apps, Azure Functions, Web Apps, Storage Account, Cosmos DB, Key Vault, Managed Identity, and Private Endpoint. We will introduce advanced LocalStack features at a later time.
LocalStack for Azure is no-cost and self-serve for the duration of Public Preview. Pricing will be announced closer to the official launch.
You'll need to take action to continue: upgrading to a paid plan, accepting updated terms, or migrating your account. We'll make this process as simple as possible and give you plenty of warning.
Same workflow, different cloud. If your teams are expanding to Azure or running multi-cloud architectures, LocalStack for Azure uses the same local container model and the same tooling patterns you already know. Your developers won't need a new mental model.
LocalStack for Azure is a development and testing emulator designed to speed up your dev/test cycle before you deploy to real Azure infrastructure. It is not a replacement for production Azure services.
Cloud Pods enable shared, reproducible environment state stored in the cloud—ideal for platform teams standardizing environments and for developers sharing the same setup. Storage is allocated per workspace. “Lifetime” indicates the included storage capacity persists for the workspace (not a monthly reset), subject to plan limits and fair use.
Join the waitlist and be among the first to run Azure workloads locally when Public Preview goes live.
