Microsoft Azure
What is Microsoft Azure?
Microsoft Azure is a cloud computing platform developed by Microsoft. It offers a variety of services such as data storage, databases, data analysis, AI, Internet of Things (IoT), identity management and security. The Azure cloud manages both IT security protocols and web application performance. Castelis takes care of the design of your infrastructure and the day-to-day governance of the Azure cloud.
It also supports several programming languages, such as .NET, Java, Python, and Node.js. Azure also allows users to develop, test, and deploy applications efficiently using tools such as Azure DevOps for continuous integration and continuous deployment.
Users can use the Azure cloud to host applications, websites, databases and data storage services in the cloud, rather than using physical servers. It also offers automatic scalability features to adapt to users’ changing needs, as well as a wide range of managed services for common tasks such as monitoring and data backup.
Azure also allows users to connect cloud and local services to create hybrid solutions, providing the flexibility to choose where to run their applications and data. Finally, Azure offers a wide range of compliance and security services to protect users’ data and applications from potential security threats.
