Azure Stack HCI - The Hybrid Cloud
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
Being it is a hybrid cloud-based, will be able to deploy the end to end application easily Opportunity to deploy the applications both on-premise and as well as on the cloud Azure stack HCI supports integration features, so that will be able to integrate other applications/features Azure stack HCI is a hybrid cloud-based, so we can work on Linux as well with the help of the virtualization principle.
Pros
- Able to manage hybrid OS on the cloud.
- The integration feature is very helpful too.
- Works on both Windows and Linux by virtualization technique.
Cons
- Interruptions are there when the connection is low.
- Improvement needed on Integration feature.
