===== Discussion =====

Microsoft Azure is a commercial cloud computing platform that provides computing, storage, networking, database, security, management, application, and related technology services through Microsoft-operated infrastructure.

Within Crucible, Microsoft Azure can serve as a [[dido:99_annexes:annex-b-terms-and-definitions:d:deployment_platform|Deployment Platform]] on which Crucible creates and manages Infrastructure Environments.

Microsoft Azure provides proprietary service interfaces, resource models, identity mechanisms, configuration formats, and operational services. A Crucible Provider Implementation can isolate those provider-specific dependencies from provider-independent Crucible Descriptions and Infrastructure Baselines.

===== Note =====

The shortened name **Azure** refers to Microsoft Azure.

Microsoft Azure identifies a named Cloud Provider and Deployment Platform. The term does not identify a specific Azure service, subscription, tenant, region, availability zone, or deployed Infrastructure Environment.

===== Example =====

A Crucible Provider Implementation translates a provider-independent Infrastructure Baseline into Azure resources, including virtual networks, virtual machines, storage resources, managed identities, and security controls.
