What is Microsoft Azure?

Microsoft's innovative cloud platform provides flexible solutions for building, deploying, and managing systems, applications, and services. The offerings can be divided into three categories:

  1. Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS): This includes virtual machines, servers, storage, and backup as flexible on-demand solutions.
  2. Platform as a Service (PaaS): Create a cloud-based environment using databases, web servers, and development tools. This allows you to develop, test, deploy, and manage applications without handling the underlying infrastructure.
  1. Software as a Service (SaaS): Cloud-based software and services such as Microsoft 365, CRM tools, accounting systems, and Power BI.

Running your IT environment in Azure is a scalable, secure, and cost-effective way to develop and run modern applications and services, including analytics and AI tools, with global reach. Azure supports various programming languages, frameworks, operating systems, and devices.

What is Azure DevOps?

DevOps is a methodology that integrates and fosters collaboration between software development and IT operations to deliver software quickly without compromising quality and functionality. DevOps is a suite of services and tools that enhance collaboration and DevOps culture, automating and streamlining software delivery throughout its lifecycle.

What is Azure AD?

Azure Active Directory, also known as Microsoft Entra ID, is a cloud-based identity and access management service. It functions as a cloud-based directory that stores and manages user identities and their access rights. Azure AD can integrate with your on-premises AD by syncing identities and groups via Azure AD Connect, creating a hybrid identity model where your employees can authenticate with the same accounts for both on-premises and cloud-based resources.

  • Authentication with work accounts for access to cloud services such as M365, Azure resources, and other SaaS applications.

  • Access management for role-based and conditional access to protect your corporate resources.

  • Device management to handle and secure mobile devices and computers connected to the company network.

  • Single Sign-On (SSO) allowing users to log in once and gain access to multiple applications without re-entering credentials.

  • Identity catalog with information about users, groups, devices, and applications within your organization.

  • Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) for extra security by requiring multiple verification methods during login.

What is Azure
Virtual Desktop?

As the name suggests, Azure Virtual Desktop is a virtualization service that enables remote access to Windows environments and applications from almost any device over the internet. Naturally, the service integrates with other Azure services related to security, monitoring, and management.

With Azure Virtual Desktop, you get a scalable and secure solution that enables flexible remote access with centralized management.
