Azure (Microsoft Azure): Enterprise Cloud Computing

Microsoft Azure is the second-largest cloud platform globally, offering 200+ services for computing, analytics, storage, and networking. Azure excels in enterprise environments due to its deep integration with Microsoft products — Active Directory, Windows Server, SQL Server, Microsoft 365, and the .NET ecosystem.
