July 27, 2022 4.0 The major points after adopting Azure are as follows: - Cloud Hybrid - Straightforward DevOps tool integration - Offers a boost for on-premises or private cloud - Pay-per-use model We significantly cut our capital expenditure thanks to the pay-as-you-go concept. Overall expenses were drastically lowered as a result. Pros Azure is a sizable platform that is always changing. Cost-savings and disaster recovery are two of Azure's key features, and it offers a superior user experience for its users. It offers a high level of compliance and security. It has comprehensive documentation and offers free learning sessions to new users. After attending the session, we receive a coupon to take an exam, which is an appealing feature. Cons In this cloud, using a volume or storage drive without encryption is not possible. The data had to be stored in the storage drive more slowly as a result. Additionally, after the volume has been created, you have the option to modify its name. Review Source RS Ravi S.

January 31, 2022 5.0 Azure is a cloud computing platform and infrastructure for DevOps that offers a suite of managed services. It’s a great solution for organizations that want to spend more time on their application development and less time managing infrastructure. If you’re looking to develop or migrate your applications to the cloud, this is the perfect place to start exploring Azure. Here you will find additional resources, including free training, templates, and tutorials. Azure offers a complete set of cloud services that can grow as your needs change over time. These include compute (virtual machines), database (SQL Database), storage etc. Pros There are many benefits of using Azure. It is easy to use, and provides much better security than other services. Here are some of the Azure features that will take any business to the next level. Azure comes with lots of free tools like QuickStart templates and the Azure SDK, which makes it easy for developers to get started building apps. There’s also a huge community of people who use the same tools and work together to find solutions to common problems. With Azure in-built support for Git, it’s easy to set up a repository for your work and make your code public. Cons The two disadvantages of Microsoft Azure are: 1. Licensing model for the cloud services: Microsoft Azure is a pay per use service. You need to pay for the resources (service) you consume in your application / website. However, when it comes to traditional on premise licensing models, you can get unlimited access to the resources and services of your software or hardware for one time cost. 2. Reliance on Microsoft products: Although Microsoft Azure is a platform independent service, with all the features, it is still relies on other microsoft product. Review Source Giridhar P.

Pros We have been using Microsoft's cloud environment Azure for almost 4 years now. Azure provides a stable place where you can host all your cloud services. Our company primarily use its web hosting and mobile app services for creating of Web Services and Cordova applications.

There servers and very fast and we have no complaints even when the code we run is sometimes not optimized for speed. Their pricing is very agreeable and Azure works well with other Microsoft products. It makes development quite a breeze. It also works with third party services like Github to add addition features. The sheer scope and size of services available is mind boggling.
