What is windows azure?

Question

I am confused with Windows Azure and Microsoft Azure. Are they both the same and what exactly is Azure?

Answer 1

Windows Azure is a Microsoft product that is launched in 2010. In 2014, they have changed the name from Windows Azure to Microsoft Azure. It is used to implement software and web applications on the cloud. Azure can run both Microsoft products like Microsoft dynamics and not Microsoft products also by a client on the cloud.

Microsoft Azure provides a lot of services like mobile services, data management, machine learning services, blockchain, and the Internet of things(IoT).

There are two types of deployment models in azure such as classic deployment and resource manager. The main difference between them is the classic model is managed independently and azure resource manager is managed by users formed in groups.
