Windows® AzureTM Platform
The Windows® Azure™ Platform (Azure) is an internet-scale cloud services platform hosted in Microsoft data centers, which provides an operating system and a set of developer services that can be used individually or together for Azure hosted application development. The Fabric controller technology ensures service availability and enables developers to upgrade existing applications without any service interruptions. The Windows® Azure™ Platform (Azure) provides both Infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) and Platform-as-a-service (Paas) models. The Azure platform also has a service-level agreement that offers 99.9 percent uptime on the storage side, and 99.95 percent uptime on the compute side.
Layer 0: (Not seen above): Microsoft Global Foundational services (GFS) which is like the Hardware Abstraction Layer (HAL) in Windows.
Layer 1: Windows® Azure is a cloud services operating system that serves as the development, service hosting and service management environment for the Windows Azure Platform. Windows Azure provides developers with on-demand compute and storage to host, scale, and manage internet or cloud applications.
Layer 2: Developer Services are a set of building block services which are available to developers for application development.
- Live Services
Provide developers to coordinate data across all of their devices and selectively share data with friends and associates. Live Services is a set of building blocks within the Windows Azure Platform for handling user data and application resources.
- Microsoft SQL Azure
Microsoft® SQL Azure™ delivers on the Microsoft Data Platform vision of extending the SQL Server® capabilities to the cloud as web-based services, enabling you to store structured, semi-structured, and unstructured data.
- Microsoft .NET Services
Microsoft .NET Services are a set of Microsoft-hosted, highly scalable, developer-oriented services that provide key building blocks required by many cloud-based and cloud-aware applications.
- Microsoft® SharePoint® Services
Provide developers to build applications that utilize SharePoint capabilities as building blocks for their Azure hosted application development.
- Microsoft® Dynamics® CRM Service
Provides developers to build applications that will have access to Microsoft Dynamics® CRM functionality in the Windows Azure Platform.
Layer 3: The Azure hosted applications.
