Here's just some of what you can do with Azure

Build a hybrid infrastructure that you control

Create private virtual networks to extend your on-premises IT environment to the cloud and protect your connections with options such as an IPsec VPN or Azure ExpressRoute.

Establish sophisticated network topologies

Run your favorite network virtual appliances—such as WAN optimizers, load balancers, and application firewalls—and define traffic flows to design your network with a greater degree of control.

Bring your own IP addresses and DNS servers

Treat Azure like your own datacenter—use private IP addresses and define attributes like subnets and access control policies.

Take advantage of free products

These products are free up to the specified monthly amounts. Some are always free to all Azure customers, and some are free for 12 months to new customers only.
