Microsoft Azure

Information Technology

Microsoft Azure is a cloud-computing platform launched by Microsoft in 2010, offering infrastructure, platform and software services in direct competition with Amazon Web Services and Google Cloud Platform. It grew into the second-largest public cloud provider in the world by market share, deeply integrated with Microsoft's existing enterprise software and identity products, and it has been a major contributor to Microsoft's revenue growth and stock performance since the mid-2010s.
