Microsoft Azure, sometimes stylized Azure, and formerly Windows Azure[a] is the cloud computing platform developed by Microsoft. It offers management, access and development of applications and services to individuals, companies, and governments through its global infrastructure. It also provides capabilities that are usually not included within other cloud platforms, including software as a service (SaaS), platform as a service (PaaS), and infrastructure as a service (IaaS). Microsoft Azure supports many programming languages, tools, and frameworks, including Microsoft-specific and third-party software and systems.
Azure was first introduced at the Professional Developers Conference (PDC) in October 2008 under the codename "Project Red Dog".[8] It was officially launched as Windows Azure in February 2010 and later renamed to Microsoft Azure on March 25, 2014.[9][10]
