But what is Microsoft Azure? Azure is Microsoft's cloud computing platform, you can use it to build, deploy and manage your application. You can scale internationally through Microsoft's global network of managed data centers. By using Microsoft's cloud services, you no longer have to buy, manage and maintain a local server yourself but you can host your application in the cloud. But Azure is much more than a distributed data center. Azure also offers services such as; Internet-of-Things, Azure Kubernetes Services, Artificial intelligence, and Big Data. From computing to machine learning, within Microsoft Azure, this is always available, anywhere you are.
