Microsoft Azure is a system that is produced by Microsoft for building, controlling and deploying the applications and the assistance through the network of Microsoft data centers. It includes IaaS and PaaS services and facilitates various programming dialects, frameworks and tools, like the third-party and Microsoft-specific software and systems.
Characteristics
• The websites allow the developers to build the sites by using PHP, ASP.NET, Python or Node.js, and can be distributed by using Git, FTP or Mercurial Server.
• The virtual machines allow the developers to travel from the infrastructure without changing the code, and thus can run the Linux machines and the Windows Server.
Data Management
The SQL Database, which was previously well-known as the SQL Database scale as well as extend applications in the cloud by using SQL server technology.
Media Services
Paas can be used for content protection, encoding, and streaming. The Microsoft Azure Platform offers an API built on the HTTP, REST and XML which allows the developer to connect with the services which is offered by Azure. Moreover, it integrates with Git, Eclipse and Microsoft Visual Studio. It also provides the managed library class which epitomizes the functions of connecting with the services.
Other Services
Websites
It helps in the hosting of websites. The customers create the sites in ASP.NET, PHP, Python or Node.js and you can also select from various open source applications available in the gallery in order to deploy. This consists of an aspect of Platform offerings for the Azure.
Virtual Machines
The Azure virtual machines consist of Infrastructure as the service providing from Microsoft to the public cloud. As the preview, these machines supported the Windows Server 2008 and 2012 systems and distributors of Linux. The customers can also create the Virtual Machines, which they have control in order to run the Data Centers.
Cloud Services
The cloud computing services are the containers of the hosted applications. The applications are usually public web applications, like e-commerce solutions or websites. Developers write code, mainly for the cloud services in different programming languages. They can also be used in the private processing processor for some other work, like processing orders or the analyzing data. However, some of the software development kits are commenced by Microsoft for Java, Python and NET. The other languages support through the open source projects.
Implementation
Azure uses the specialized operating system known as Microsoft Azure in order to run "fabric layer", which is hosted at Microsoft's data centers, which manages the storage and computing resources for the computers and the provisions of the resources to the application running on the of Azure. Reliability and Scaling are controlled. The Microsoft Azure is described as the "cloud layer" on the Server Systems that use Windows Server and also the customized version of the Hyper-V, popularly known as the Azure Hypervisor in order to produce virtualization of the services. So, the environment and the services don't crash if the server crashes within the data center and offers the management for the user's web application, such as the load balancing and the memory resources.
