Go from code to cloud with Azure
Publish and deploy with Visual Studio. Let Azure monitor, scale, and securely host so you can focus on building.
Scale from your first user to your millionth, or billionth
Effortlessly scale up to meet increased demand, or scale down to cut costs. Deploy to data centers around the world. When you run your code in Azure, it’s ready to grow when you are.
Keep it secure
With Azure, security and simplicity go hand in hand. Build secure applications by leveraging Azure functionality such as Key Vault and claims-based identity services. Build your customers’ trust by storing their important data in a cloud that has earned more certifications than any other provider.
Fix problems before your users even notice
Diagnose and debug apps in your production environment without having to reproduce them locally by quickly attaching Visual Studio’s remote debugger. Debug errors that are hard to reproduce or that happen in deployment by recording specific events.
