Please read through the scenario, then write your answer in the space provided.
Microsoft Virtual Internship

Scenario:

You are at a social event and someone finds out you work for
Microsoft. They tell you that they have heard of ‘some cloud
computing solution’ called Azure but don’t know what it is
about. They ask you to describe it to them and what the
benefits are. Research Microsoft Azure and provide a response
outlining what you would tell this person about Azure.

Guidance for formulating your response:

Your response needs to describe the fundamentals of Azure in a way that is

informative and interesting to the listener. You should also concisely outline the
benefits of Azure.

We suggest you follow the guidelines for an ‘elevator pitch’ to help in being
interesting, brief and memorable. This means that you can clearly articulate your
response in the time it takes to ride an elevator from the bottom floor to the top
floor of a high-rise building. To find out more about how to write an elevator pitch
read this article.

Outline your response below.

What is Azure?
Azure is an ever-expanding set of cloud computing services to help your
organization meet its business challenges. Cloud computing platforms, like Azure,
tend to be less expensive and more secure, reliable, and flexible than on-premises
servers. With the cloud, equipment downtime due to maintenance, theft, or damage
is almost non-existent. You can scale your compute and storage resources—up or
down—almost instantly when your needs change on Azure. Also, you typically pay
only for the services you use, which provides a level of convenience and cost-control
that’s almost impossible to achieve with on-site infrastructure. Azure gives you the
freedom to build, manage, and deploy applications on a massive, global network
using your preferred tools and frameworks.

Benefits of Azure
• Azure provides solutions across all industries and can be tailored for your
specific needs.

• It supports open source technologies so you can use the tools and
technologies you prefer. This gives you choice.

• Azure is the only consistent hybrid cloud, has more regions than any other
cloud provider, delivers unparalleled developer productivity and offers more
comprehensive compliance coverage.

• You can create a free Azure account to learn how it works. You only pay for
what you use. Azure provides flexible purchasing and pricing options for all
your cloud scenarios.
