Microsoft Azure

Microsoft Azure is Microsoft’s cloud platform. It offers virtual machines, app hosting, managed databases, storage and AI services, and it integrates closely with Microsoft 365, Entra ID (Azure Active Directory) and the .NET ecosystem that many organisations already use.

How we use Microsoft Azure

• Hosting web applications and APIs on Azure App Service and virtual machines.
• Setting up Azure SQL, storage accounts and backups.
• Connecting applications to Microsoft 365 and single sign-on with Entra ID.
• Building CI/CD pipelines for Azure deployments with GitHub Actions or Azure DevOps.

When Microsoft Azure is the right choice

Azure is a natural choice for companies already invested in Microsoft tools, those with enterprise agreements, or teams that need tight integration with Microsoft 365 and Windows environments. Otherwise we compare it with AWS, Google Cloud and DigitalOcean on cost and features.

Frequently asked questions

Can Azure sign-in work with our Microsoft 365 accounts?

Yes. Applications can use Microsoft Entra ID for single sign-on, so staff log in with their existing work accounts and access is managed centrally.

Is Azure only for .NET applications?

No. Azure runs PHP, Node.js, Python and Java applications, containers and Linux servers as well.

Does Azure have data centres in India?

Yes. Azure operates several regions in India, which helps with performance for Indian users and with data-residency requirements.
