Microsoft Azure is an on-premise, hybrid, and future-ready cloud solution. The azure cloud platform has cloud services designed to build, run, and manage applications across multiple clouds. It provides scalable and high-performance cloud computing experience with virtual machines and SQL databases for testing and deployments.
You can now deploy and configure Astera on Microsoft Azure Cloud either through the Azure Marketplace or using virtual machines on Azure Cloud.
