Azure's integrated tools, unified services, and proven solutions help you build enterprise, mobile, web, and Internet of Things (IoT) apps faster, for virtually any platform or device. Any developer can be productive on Azure, not just those with DevOps skills or Windows expertise, because Azure supports the broadest selection of devices, operating systems, databases, languages, frameworks, and tools. Don't want to manage virtual infrastructure? You don't have to on Azure. By contrast, AWS puts the burden of integrating different services on you.
Azure lets you easily build hybrid applications that leverage resources in your
data center, at service providers, and within Azure itself-all without the need for complex workarounds and trade-offs. You can also use a wider set of hybrid connections including virtual private networks (VPNs), content delivery networks (CDNs), caching, ExpressRoute connections to ensure performance and ease of use. Microsoft Azure Stack is a new hybrid cloud platform product that enables your organization to deliver Azure services from your own data-center to help you achieve more.
