Microsoft Azure

We use Microsoft Azure IaaS, PaaS, IoT services for some devices and DevOps. In the IaaS we use hybrid cloud integration, for software development we decided to use DevOps in combination with VisualStudio. For some projects we use the Azure App Services with Azure SQL. Some small projects use the IoT services and we are testing around with the AI tools.

Microsoft Azure is a DevOps and infrastructure-as-a-a-service cloud platform. It has all the features developers need to interact with microservices, and it’s easy to integrate. Because of our business and infrastructure’s adaptability, we’ve implemented new technologies, transferred all IT operations to them, and dismantled our old infrastructure. We used it for containerization, storage, and computing and had significant results. Unlike other cloud providers, Azure has a wide range of locations. I believe that Azure’s simplicity is one of its greatest assets.

Microsoft Azure is a cloud computing solution developed by Microsoft. We have migrated our business application to Azure. It has all the services such as storage, networking, computing, etc. It is one of the most renowned and reliable cloud solutions on which we can rely our businesses. It is also equipped with advanced technologies such as NLP, AI, ML, etc. in which you can integrate your applications for further advancements. We have an enterprise application built for health services in which a large user base is accessing the application on their daily uses.

Our company makes use of Microsoft Azure for a wide range of SaaS and PaaS needs. All of our applications are managed and accessed through Azure AD (Azure Active Directory). It seems to be essential to our organizations, honestly. Decentralization gives us the privilege to function even if we were already doing so remotely. This flexibility in business and infrastructure has enabled us to adopt new technologies quickly. We were able to move all IT operations to Azure and eliminate our legacy infrastructure. Keeping up with our core infrastructure isn't necessary. We can improve security and operations while increasing productivity.

We are using MS Azure for multiple services (PaaS, SaaS) using MS Azure directory services and integrated Azure AD for multiple application access and management. With Azure 2FA feature and integration with OKTA we were able to create a centralized authentication platform for almost all of our enterprise applications. MS Azure networking platform is another feature/platform/service that we heavily rely on creating networks and deploying 2nd Gen firewalls for secure access.

Microsoft Azure is being used to support our entire infrastructure for the organization. It allows us to be a totally decentralized organization that was working from home before the Covid Crisis hit. The use of Azure has allowed us to respond quickly to new business and infrastructure requirements, and implement new technologies seamlessly in our environment.

It's used on several departments to implement digital services or support the implementation of digital services like IoT and Big Data (e.g. predictive analytics)
It addresses customer usability and comfort as well as optimizing device maintenance and service costs.

I looked to Azure after a slow support response at Google Cloud resulted in tremendous client dissatisfaction. Luckily, I was hesitant to migrate that many resources without more experience. The services I rely on include any number of virtual host setups. Some containerized, various hardware configurations of vm instances, web app platforms (mostly for development on hardware intensive/remote collaborative projects.) But I started out with a single instance with 4vcpu 16GB-Linux and a bucket for image transfer. I'm pretty sure the services are alright, I can't remember because I forgot about the vm bucket (not really forgot, just got busy). But I knew that all had been deallocated at the last sign off so I didn't pay much mind...until the charges started showing up. In all, about $350 with another $200 pending invoice for a VM instance w/ at most 20GB of total data storage active for no more than 17 non-consecutive hours. I submitted a support ticket 4 weeks ago, receiving an email every 9 days to let me know that they have no information. All I know is it was the most expensive trial run I have ever done.

We use Microsoft Azure for cognitive services like natural language processing, computer vision, and machine learning services for built-in open-[source] frameworks like Tensorflow, MXNet, Keras, etc. It is used based on customers' needs, as we are in the service industry. It helps with scaling, security, and reliability.

Our company (200+) recently transitioned over to [Microsoft] Azure to alleviate the "clutter". We were outsourcing various functions, causing confusion and conflict. Having changed over to 1 concise platform containing all of our needs, has cleared the bottleneck we have been fighting for years. It has been a smooth transition as well with minimal to zero impact.

We have been using Microsoft Azure to automate the process. And to work in the cloud Azure is one of the most secure and support cloud. We use to save data for out clients, to manage processes, we can integrate with other programs and it is intuitive to use. Microsoft gives us all that we could ask for in a technological company.

We provisioned/synchronized users and managed user lifecycle in Azure to help organizations utilize Microsoft’s cloud portfolio of applications and services.

Azure is Microsoft's equivalent to Amazon Web Services, Google Cloud Platform, Oracle Cloud, IBM Cloud, etc. From a technical perspective, these providers are largely interchangeable in my experience. We primarily used Azure Compute, which let us spin up VMs in the cloud, to host our production and development Kubernetes clusters. We also used Azure VMs to host our production database - MongoDB.

The whole organization uses Microsoft Azure for various reasons. The main reason is to run our product in the service fabric environment. The other reasons include creating virtual machines, classic cloud service, and SQL databases. Microsoft Azure helps us to avoid having physical servers [in] the environment which are high in maintenance.

Our company used Azure for the launch of the process automation platform. We later added a number of complementary services i.e. authentication, storage, telemetry, monitoring, Azure SQL and PowerBI. While this virtual platform was supported by a small team, it supported the whole organization. Our Azure stack was used as a virtual infrastructure in the IaaS and SaaS capacities.

Our organization is spread across the globe. Putting our servers in Azure has enabled us to offer high availability to our customers and development department.

Previously we were using an in-house server and multiple systems by uploading multiple operating systems. Now, we have eliminated the cost of an in-premise server and multiple systems by deploying multiple operating Linux servers over the Azure cloud and SQL server as well as well over cloud.

Microsoft Azure is being deployed using Azure stack on top of cloud services in an on-premise environment setup in our organization. It is prominently operated by our IT department to provide on-demand scalable platform solution to be used by support and business units. Main users in the organization are product departments who are responsible to deliver digital services and data monetization business units.

We are using Microsoft Azure as one of our primary cloud providers and we've offloaded several of our production workloads to it. We are a heavy user of storage accounts as well as function apps. It helps us quickly roll out projects to production where we can innovate and experiment.

Microsoft Azure is being used across the entire organization at this time. It is being customized for use with individual departments. We use it at my non-profit and I also operate it at a large, regional, mid-western electric and gas utility.

Azure has allowed us to quickly and reliably connect to information across our network in a seamless fashion. We are able to share links and data very quickly. It also allows us the advantage to use PowerBI to access data from many different departments because they are all in one place.

[It's being used] Across a specific department; allows us to model data and to carry out a selection of machine learning tasks around data from our reports.

We use Azure across our entire business and it solves all of our infrastructure and hosting needs. We use it for:
1) Software development: We build software using App Services, AKS, Azure Functions, Event Grid, Sql Server
2) Running our internal programs: We use Logic apps and AKS to run our custom production apps.
3) Hosting SaaS products for our customers: We build products for our customers and run them in AKS and monitor using Microsoft Azure monitor / app insights.

We use Microsoft Azure both divisionally and corporately. We have a partner-agreement with Microsoft and a significant investment in order to migrate as much of our server infrastructure into the cloud as we can. This allows us to be more flexible in hiring since servers a not on-prem and location-based, and given us access to tools we never had before. The centralized billing is a huge asset.

We use Azure to host our SaaS financial healthcare application built on asp.net MVC + SQL + ESB architecture. We currently use base IaaS, Azure SQL, Azure web apps, load balancers, and analytics. We migrated to Azure from a small cloud vendor for flexibility, cost savings and ease of meeting various security requirements.

I was using Microsoft Azure as a part of the hybrid infrastructure. Part of our services were stored on-premise and lots of them were based on Microsoft Azure platform. A few that we used were Microsoft Azure Active Directory services, virtualization services, all the cross-connected with Office 365 services. Plus I had experience with a fully cloud-based Microsoft infrastructure with VPN tunnels from the local network to Microsoft Azure services.
