Azure is a rapidly
growing cloud computing platform that provides an ever-expanding suite of cloud
services. These include analytics, computing, database, mobile, networking,
storage, and web services. Azure integrates tools, templates, and managed
services that work together to help make it easier to build and manage
enterprise, mobile, web, and Internet of Things (IoT) apps faster, using the
tools, applications, and frameworks that customers choose.
Azure is built on
trust. The Azure approach to trust is based on the five foundational principles
- Security,
Compliance,
Privacy,
Resilience
and Intellectual
Property (IP) protection. A
well-designed Azure application should focus on the five pillars of software
quality.
