You can use Microsoft Azure to host virtual servers, manage relational and NoSQL databases, and deploy containers worldwide. It lets you run Windows and Linux virtual machines, execute serverless code with event triggers, and train machine learning models using dedicated compute hardware. You can also connect hybrid environments to your local servers, store unstructured data at scale, and monitor application health with built-in telemetry tools. Teams use it to build backends for mobile apps, run high-performance computing jobs, and automate software deployments through continuous delivery pipelines.
