Azure

Redmond's cloud platform

Azure is Microsoft's cloud computing platform, offering services for hosting, storage, databases, and machine learning.

Developers and IT professionals use Azure to build and deploy applications without managing physical servers: We migrated our infrastructure to Azure last year.

The name evokes the sky—where "the cloud" metaphorically resides. (Lowercase azure is the color blue.)
