Back to the past, in 1975, Microsoft started its business with DOS. In the next thirty years, Microsoft contributed Windows OS to humans. So far, people have never left XP, the desktop OS. But what should Microsoft do in the face of the rise of the Internet?
Microsoft has many internal talents. In 2008, Ray Ozzie (later taking over gates as the chief software architect of Microsoft) proposed a "transformation" solution for Microsoft enterprises, which is what we call "Reform and Opening Up ", initially, the so-called "Windows public cloud" (azure) was built. However, Ray Ozzie left Microsoft (2011) to start his own business. As a result, Naruto took over the azure public cloud business.
In March 2010, azure public cloud was officially released. Later, in April, azure had a major upgrade to accommodate Linux virtual machines. What should I do with Azure public cloud? How can I properly operate on azure public cloud? In this case, how should we look at the emergence of Microsoft? That is to say, how should we treat Microsoft in the cloud computing era? In essence, what is the view of Microsoft under the leadership of Nakhon? How does one view Microsoft's public cloud azure construction, management, and operation?
In this article, we will not talk about how powerful the functions and capabilities of azure public cloud are (and later), but only about the scale of azure public cloud. In fact, azure public cloud is a super-large data center network (CDN) distributed around the world. It links tens of millions of servers and keeps running around the clock. Microsoft is responsible for all the operation costs. According to Gartner's ranking, azure is the largest public cloud in the world.
Currently, azure public cloud data centers are distributed in 24 countries and regions, and azure public cloud data centers exist in Beijing, Shanghai, and Hong Kong in China. In China, Microsoft authorized 21 vianet to operate azure business.
In my opinion, Microsoft gave the XP hacker a new path: boldly embracing azure! The emergence of Microsoft's azure public cloud has weakened the scattered and messy desktop operating system (PC), and all mankind lives in a digital earth. Microsoft needs a "Monopoly" (unified and harmonious operation of azure public cloud), and Linux and Windows share the same bed to enjoy the harmony. The ending is a big reunion!
Microsoft public cloud Azure is a computing resource benefiting all mankind
