2. What is
Microsoft Azure?
Azure is an open and flexible cloud platform that
enables you to quickly build, deploy and manage
infrastructure and applications across a global network
of Microsoft-managed datacenters.
Azure delivers a 99.95% monthly SLA and enables you to
build and run highly available infrastructure and
applications without focusing on the infrastructure.
Azure enables you to easily scale your infrastructure and
applications to any size. It is a fully automated self-service
platform that allows you to provision resources within
minutes. Elastically grow or shrink your resource usage based
on your customer’s needs.

What is the future?
This new service allows customers to connect to
their storage account using a File Share (which
uses the SMB protocol). There will also be a
corresponding REST API to connect to the data.
Files stored in the share are now available to
applications across multiple Azure VMs via
standard file system APIs.
Availability: Preview
On-premises, SMB
offers high-
performance
connectivity to a highly
available file share.
