    More and more, people seem to be talking about Microsoft Azure. As government agencies and businesses are looking to acquire more Azure services to continue their operations, IT professionals are seeking more Azure education and certifications. You may be wondering, what is all the buzz about Azure? Lately and especially since the onset of the COVID -19 epidemic, Azure is in high demand because of its ability to provide social distancing mechanisms at a time when almost everyone has been ordered to stay at home. According to a blog on tom’s HARDWARE, Microsoft Azure services, ‘…have recorded a peak increase in demand of up to 775% in areas where social distancing and/or lockdowns are enforced” (Broekhuijsen). This includes significant usage of platforms such as Microsoft Teams, Windows Virtual Desktop and Power BI. (Broekhuijsen) People all over the world are currently using Azure for teleworking. With so many people relying on Azure, it is important to understand what it is and how it is used to help people stay connected.

    What is Azure?

    After reading about the increase demand for Azure, some of you may be wondering, “What exactly is Azure, anyway?” Microsoft Azure is a public, cloud computing platform with endless possibilities! This secure and global service allows subscribers to create the solutions needed to encourage the goals of their business. Azure provides a range of options such as different cloud computing frameworks and multiple cloud services for its users. Frameworks include Infrastructure as a service (IaaS), Software as a service (SaaS), and Platform as a service (PaaS). Services include cloud-based technologies, data security, networking, data analytics, intelligence models and application developments. Azure is also quick, flexible, and affordable allowing its services to be used in nearly any profession including government, medical, or education.
