Azure Virtual Machines provide on-demand, scalable compute in the form of Windows or Linux virtual machines running in Microsoft's cloud. Users select from many VM series optimized for general purpose, compute, memory, storage, or GPU workloads and pay for what they use. Strong support for Windows Server and hybrid scenarios through Azure Arc makes it a natural fit for organizations invested in the Microsoft stack.

Capabilities

  • Run arbitrary OS and application workloads
  • Scale vertically (size) and horizontally (count)
