Introduction

Modern technology is growing and diversifying at breakneck speed. Technological innovation is rapidly changing the world around us. Often resulting in breakthroughs that make our lives easier and more comfortable, but also creating solutions for challenging societal, economic or environmental problems.

Microsoft’s cloud platform, Azure, is a powerful and highly modern IT hub that facilitates technological innovation on many levels. It does this by handling the most demanding network loads and harnessing the latest AI, ML and IoT solutions. Azure provides a range of cloud services, including compute, analytics, storage and networking. These services are offered on an on-demand basis and are charged per usage. Once you subscribe to Azure, your organisation has access to all of the services included in the Azure portal.

Users can pick and choose from these services to develop and scale new applications, but they also have the opportunity to run existing applications in the public cloud. Azure supports every type of industry and is compatible with many open-source technologies. The platform supports four different forms of cloud computing: IaaS, PaaS, SaaS and serverless. Azure is also the current market leader in the field of hybrid cloud models. The platform is often used for running virtual machines or containers in the cloud. But it is also used for hosting applications, infrastructure service components and Windows Server services.

Azure is also a platform that keeps evolving. New trends constantly shape the range and diversity of services that Azure offers and supports. In this white paper, we will take a closer look at the six most important Azure trends and developments for 2022.
