What is Microsoft Azure?

Microsoft Azure, formerly known as Windows Azure, is Microsoft's public cloud computing platform. Azure offers a wide range of cloud services, including compute, analytics, storage and networking. Users can choose from these services to develop and scale new applications or run existing applications in the public cloud.

The Azure platform is designed to help businesses meet challenges and achieve their organizational goals. It provides tools that support all industries, including e-commerce, finance and a variety of Fortune 500 companies, and is compatible with open source technologies. This gives users the flexibility to use their preferred tools and technologies.

Microsoft Azure offers four different forms of cloud computing:

Infrastructure as a service (IaaS)
Platform as a service (PaaS)
Software as a service (SaaS)
Serverless features

Microsoft charges for Azure on a pay-as-you-go (PAYG) basis. This means subscribers receive a bill each month that charges them only for the specific resources and services they have used.

How does Microsoft Azure work?

Once customers subscribe to Azure, they have access to all the services included in the Azure portal. Subscribers can use these services to create cloud resources, such as VMs and databases. Azure resources and services can then be aggregated into active environments used to host workloads and store data.

In addition to the services Microsoft offers through the Azure portal, a number of third-party vendors also make software available directly through Azure. The fees charged for third-party applications vary widely, but may include a subscription fee for the application, plus a usage fee for the infrastructure used to host the application.

Microsoft offers the following five different customer support options for Azure:

Basic
Developer
Standard
Professional Direct
Enterprise (Premier)

Customer support options vary in scope and price. Basic support is available for all Azure accounts, but Microsoft charges for the other options.

What is Microsoft Azure used for?

Because Microsoft Azure consists of a wide variety of resource and service offerings, the use cases are very diverse. Running virtual machines or containers in the cloud is one of the most popular uses of Microsoft Azure. These resources can host infrastructure components, such as Domain Name System (DNS) servers; Windows Server services, such as Internet Information Services (IIS); network services, such as firewalls; or third-party applications. Microsoft also supports the use of third-party operating systems, such as Linux.

Azure is also commonly used as a platform for hosting databases in the cloud. Microsoft offers serverless relational databases such as Azure SQL and non-relational databases such as NoSQL.

In addition, the platform is often used for backup and disaster recovery. Many organizations use Azure for archive storage to meet their requirements for long-term data retention or disaster recovery (DR).

History of Azure

Microsoft first unveiled its plans to introduce a cloud computing service called Windows Azure in 2008. Preview versions of the service became available and developed, leading to its commercial launch in early 2010. Although early versions of Azure cloud services lagged behind more established offerings - such as AWS - the portfolio continued to evolve, supporting a greater number of programming languages, frameworks and operating systems.

By early 2014, Microsoft had added and updated a large number of services, including Azure SQL, Windows Azure CTP, Windows Azure Connect, Traffic manager and HPC scheduler. Microsoft recognized that the implications of cloud computing extended far beyond Windows, and the service was renamed Microsoft Azure. In addition, Azure rolled out the first public previews of Machine Learning services.

In the following years, Azure introduced SONiC (a cross-platform Linux distribution), Azure ARM Portal (2015), Azure Service Fabric (2016), Azure Service Fabric Mesh (2018) and Azure IoT Central (2018). Today, Azure is considered a strong commercial competitor to other public cloud providers.
