What is Microsoft Azure?

It includes many separate features with corresponding developer services, which can be used individually or together. It is also known as IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service)+ PaaS (Platform as a Service).
Microsoft Azure allows you to take your on-premise environment into the cloud, reducing management costs, overhead costs, and streamlining your business. Microsoft Azure is hosted in Data Centres in Ireland and the Netherlands and will be opening in the UK soon.
