Azure functions for serverless computing
Microsoft has released Azure Functions, which is a competitor to AWS Lambda, and it provides you with a way to create functions for the cloud without setting up or managing the infrastructure.
The use of the cloud has become a necessity for organizations today. And when it's time to choose a service provider, Microsoft Azure is the best cloud provider for people using Microsoft software as a system. Infrastructure in a Microsoft Azure enterprise can help reduce infrastructure management workload while reducing costs.
Reason 1: It can be fully integrated with your existing infrastructure
Microsoft Azure is a cloud that is fully compatible with legacy infrastructures running Windows Server and SQL Server. The legacy server in the organization can be connected to Microsoft Azure through the Windows Admin Center, allowing the organization to continue to use the legacy server. By using a single management control system But also gain the advantages of the cloud, including
- Backup to the cloud via Azure Backup service.
- Prepare in emergencies to be able to move jobs to the cloud with Azure Site Recovery.
- Sync files to the cloud with Azure File Sync.
- Check system availability with Azure Monitor.
In addition to Microsoft's own software Organizations using other platforms can still get the most from Azure. Specifically, the container platform supports the Kubernetes platform. With Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), users can focus on service development. Instead of wasting time taking care of the infrastructure
Reason 2 Azure invests in tools to help customers save money
In the cloud era, service providers earn revenue based on actual usage. Many times the usage estimate is wrong. Until unexpected expenses occur, Azure is fully committed to building tools that will help organizations get the most out of Azure.
Starting with the Azure Migrate service that analyzes the need for cloud-based resources. Along with services from outside service providers that can help Make a report to assess the upcoming expenses and ways to reduce expenses in various forms.
Upgrade the app It is a right that no other service provider can provide. Makes total expenses up to 80% cheaper than competitors.
For developing or testing new apps ,Giving developers access to realistic servers Which the organization does not have to bear the burden of expenses
During deployment, Microsoft Azure allows organizations to
reduce costs by optimizing usage patterns, such as using ultra-long-term
storage for cheaper backups. Or to reserve a long-term device in advance to
receive a discount in the event that the system load is relatively stable. And
also offers Azure service Cost Management that helps report expenses
continuously. And suggesting the ineffective use of resources .
Reason 3 Azure is the best cloud for SQL database
SQL Server has been the most trusted database software in the enterprise for a long time. And is a database system for many business applications. From its ability to fully support the SQL standard And increase efficiency in new versions with automatic performance tuning processes with Machine Learning and has both strong security features.
There are three options for using a SQL Server database on Microsoft Azure:
SQL Server version that the organization previously used on the virtual machine immediately and can use the original SQL Server version until the organization is ready to upgrade. You can choose the time of maintenance and update it.
2. SQL Server Managed Instance
The SQL Server service on Microsoft Azure that is fully compatible with your existing on-premises SQL Server But reduce the burden of taking care of the Virtual Machine and its maintenance by letting Microsoft take care of the updates for themselves.
3. SQL DB, Single database / Elastic pool, provides a Platform as a Service of the Database
Database system directly on the structure of Microsoft Azure, allowing detailed resource allocation. Including the cost of resource reservation.
