Microsoft Azure

Microsoft Azure is the company's public cloud computing platform, formerly known as Windows Azure. It ranks 5th on the list of the largest cloud computing companies in South Africa. It provides a variety of cloud services such as computation, analytics, storage, and networking. Customers can use these services to build and create new apps or to run existing apps in the public cloud.

The Azure platform was developed to help enterprises manage problems and achieve their objectives. It supports open-source technologies and provides solutions for many industries, including e-commerce, finance, and a number of Fortune 500 companies. Users can now use their preferred tools and technologies. In addition, Azure offers four different types of cloud computing services: infrastructure as a service (IaaS), platform as a service (PaaS), software as a service (SaaS), and serverless functionalities. Azure is charged on a pay-as-you-go (PAYG) basis, which means that users get a monthly payment that only covers the resources and services that they have used.
