Microsoft solutions

Microsoft Azure, also referred to as Azure, is a cloud computing platform built by Microsoft. It provides access, management, and development of applications and services via worldwide data centers. It also offers a variety of services, including software as a service (SaaS), platform as a service (PaaS), and infrastructure as a service (IaaS). Microsoft Azure supports a wide range of programming languages, tools, and frameworks, as well as Microsoft-specific and third-party applications and systems.

Azure was initially unveiled as “Project Red Dog” at the Professional Developers Conference (PDC) in October 2008. On February 25, 2014, it changed its name from Windows Azure, which was its official launch name, to Microsoft Azure.

Services

With more than 600 services, Microsoft Azure leverages large-scale virtualization in Microsoft data centers across the globe.

Computer-related services
Identity
Mobile services
Services for storing
Services for communication

Software as a service (SaaS), preconfigured machine images for widely used software packages, and virtual machines are all examples of infrastructure as a service (IaaS) that enables customers to launch general-purpose Microsoft Windows and Linux virtual machines.

  • These virtual machines will now be powered by Ampere Cloud-native CPUs starting in 2022.
  • The majority of customers utilize Linux on Azure, one of the several available Linux versions, including Azure Sphere, which is based on Linux from Microsoft.
  • Platform as a service (PaaS) environments and app services make it simple for developers to launch and maintain websites.
  • Using ASP.NET, PHP, Node.js, Java, or Python, developers may create websites with Azure Web Sites that can be uploaded through the user portal, and deployed via FTP, Git, Mercurial, or Team Foundation Server. At the Meet Microsoft Azure event in June 2012, a preview of this feature was unveiled. Customers can choose from a gallery of numerous open-source applications to deploy, or they can construct websites in PHP, ASP.NET, Node.js, or Python. This is a part of the Microsoft Azure Platform’s platform as a service (PaaS) services. In April 2015, it was renamed Web Apps.
  • SSO (Single Sign On) is enabled and on-premises directories are synchronized with Entra ID Connect.
  • Cloud-based consumer identity and access management is made possible with Entra ID B2C.
  • Azure virtual machines can be connected to a domain without domain controllers using Entra Domain Services.
  • Sensitive data can be safeguarded with Azure information protection.
  • A collection of features known as Entra ID External Identities enables businesses to work with partners and other external users.
  • Microsoft stated on July 11, 2023, that Azure AD will now be known as Microsoft Entra ID. Four days later, the name was changed.
  • Real-time metrics are gathered by Mobile Engagement to showcase user behavior. Mobile devices can receive push alerts as well.
  • Mobile app development, distribution, and beta testing are all possible with HockeyApp.
  •  
  • REST and SDK APIs are offered by Storage Services for cloud data storage and retrieval.
  • Programs can store structured text in partitioned collections of entities with Table Service, which allows access via both the partition key and the main key. Azure A NoSQL non-relational database is Table Service.
  • Programs can store binary and unstructured text data as object storage blobs that are accessible over an HTTP(S) path thanks to the Blob Service. Blob services also offer security features to limit data access.
  • Programs can communicate asynchronously by employing queues and queue service.
  • File services facilitate cloud-based data storage and retrieval using SMB or REST APIs.
  •  
  • An SDK for developing web and mobile communications apps, such as web-based chat, SMS, video calling, VoIP, and PSTN calling, is provided by Azure Communication Services.
