I am looking for a open source alternative of below services,
Azure Service Bus
Azure Machine Learning
Azure Notification Hubs
Power BI for Office 365 Mobile Services Cloud Services
Is there any solution which interoperates all these similar services as a whole solution?
For Azure Machine Learning there is Mahout.
For Power BI you might want to take a look at this post:
https://stats.stackexchange.com/questions/44204/does-anyone-know-any-good-open-source-software-for-visualizing-data-from-databas
For the rest, not sure, but there are open source solutions that can be googled.
I am also curious about your motives for looking for a list like this.

I have been told by Azure sales consultant (online chat) that Azure Media Services support conferencing. I cannot find such option. I see that AMS support online streaming but I'd like also to enable other people to speak.
Anyone has such experience with AMS? Is my scenario possible?
I believe you are looking for Azure Communications Services, not Media Services.

This is regarding Microsoft's Azure DevOps(Formerly VSTS). Just wanted to clear things, can Azure DevOps be classified as a Platform as a Service. Since it is a cloud service it should be categorized into IaaS but it eliminates the middleware/OS in pipeline. If not then where does it go in the cloud services area? IaaS/SAAS?
Thanks.
Azure DevOps is SaaS for end users (Developers,PM,QA and other stakeholder). In the backend, all the services offer by "Azure DevOps" may run on VMs or Physical server. That mean Microsoft point of view, they may use combination of IaaS & PaaS solution for this platform. Ultimately all services running on VM or physical server.
Its a SaaS, since you are buying a service, not a platform, not virtual machines.
From learn.microsoft.com
Based on the on-premises capabilities, with additional cloud services, we manage your source code, work items, builds, and tests. Azure DevOps uses platform as a service (PaaS) infrastructure and many Azure services, including Azure SQL, to deliver a reliable, globally available service for your development projects.
So according to Microsoft it is PaaS.
I have been looking into Workflow Foundation for a build we are currently undertaking.
I have a proof of concept and have been using IIS AppFabric for tracking, faults, and persistence to SQL which are key to our new build. We are now looking to Azure for the hosting of the workflow service, which i have working but cannot find any guides on how to set up the monitoring IIS AppFabric offers in terms of database setup.
I have read that AppFabric will no longer be supported as of this year, does this include Azure AppFabric. What is the best approach in Azure?
Windows Server AppFabric is retired since 11/04/2017: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/appfabric/2015/04/02/microsoft-appfabric-1-1-for-windows-server-ends-support-422016/
My recommendation: You should write your workflow using Azure Logic Apps. It already offers tracking mechanisms that uses Azure Storage accounts.
We have a complex Azure setup...cloud services, websites, storage accounts, VM's...the whole shebang.
We have custom domains to all of these things and they work great, but I can't find any documentation on setting up an A record or a CNAME to work with their Service Bus functionality.
Anyone know if this is possible?
David,
Thank you for sharing your requirement. Using custom domains with Windows Azure Service Bus is not currently supported. However, it is among the features that the Service Bus team is considering enabling in the near future. We'll have further information on this when the feature is available for use.

I am a little confused about two new technologies receiving a lot of buzz currently;
Can somebody please explain to me what the difference (or similarities) are between Azure and .NET Services?
Are they one and the same thing?
Is Azure the Cloud OS that my .NET Services run in?
Is .NET Services a component that makes up the greater Azure vision?
Thanks
You've basically got it right that .NET Services is a component that makes up part of the Azure platform. Check out the Azure Services graphic for a visual representation of the components.
Azure is composed of the operating environment and the base services that are used to host cloud applications. It provides the base capabilities (web and worker processes) as well as the simple data storage offerings.
.NET Services are the services that many applications will use to create cloud scale applications, although originally the services were mostly geared toward enterprise development. It includes the access service and service bus.
There are also a few other services that are provided:
SQL Azure is the SQL Server for the cloud offering. It is used like a regular SQL Server instance, for the most part, but is hosted and sericed by Microsoft.
Live Services are consumer focused services that make use of many Microsoft services: Mesh, Live ID, Messenger, etc.
One thing to note is that, although these services are offered as part of the Azure platform, the .NET Services should be usable from any platform. The are REST based services that can be consumed by any application that has the ability to call REST services.
Windows Azure is a cloud services operating system that drivers the Azure Platform, which is an open platform that supports/will support multiple Microsoft and non-Microsoft languages and evironments. Azure Platform
.Net Services are a set of libraries that aid in working with the Azure cloud based infrastructure services available. .Net Services
