Cloud computing delivered through services like Microsoft Azure, and AWS, have delivered a bevy of benefits for enterprise IT. Among the most significant is the ability to quickly provision computing resources without major upfront investment or need for building on-premise data centers.
On-demand cloud computing resources have also given enterprise teams the ability to optimize servers and resources that might have otherwise gone underutilized in traditional IT environments.
What is Microsoft Azure Compute?
Microsoft Azure Compute is part of a collection of cloud computing services, including remotely hosted and managed versions of proprietary Microsoft technologies, and open technologies, such as Azure Virtual Machines, Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), and Azure Container Service. With capacity, virtualization, and scale on demand based on usage-based billing, Azure Compute is a compelling option for enterprises transitioning from on-premise Windows servers to the cloud.
Azure Compute quickly provides the infrastructure you need to run your apps, whether you’re building new applications or deploying existing ones. It also offers the speed and scalability required in the modern app environment, along with opportunities for optimization on several fronts.
A Shared Approach to Security
Cloud computing is driven by a new infrastructure model, so it also requires a new approach to security. In the Azure environment, Microsoft provides a secure foundation across physical, infrastructure, and operational security, while you maintain responsibility for protecting the security of your application workloads, data, identities, on-premises resources, and all the cloud components that you control. This is referred as the “Shared Responsibility Model.”
To ensure the security of your Azure Compute resources, it’s important you fulfill your end of the shared responsibility model by using and configuring the service correctly based on security best practices.
