Is there an official or confirmed source that supports the new OS system? Or has Microsoft already said something about Cloud? 71.106.120.87 ( talk) 00:52, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
It says it was announced Oct. 27, it is only the 13. Perhaps it meant September? Acid 1 ( talk) 07:31, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
This, from 2nd Oct, "Steve Ballmer was in London at a software conference, where he said Microsoft will officially announce Windows 7, now called Windows Cloud, at the end of October. The official name for the new Windows operating system, as well as other details, will be announced at Microsoft’s annual developer conference in Los Angeles between October 27th through the 30th.". 86.144.105.78 ( talk) 21:20, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

Microsoft's website notes that this isn't an operating system, but a comparable service platform, for creating SaaS, to AWS or Google App Engine.
"The Azure™ Services Platform (Azure) is an internet-scale cloud services platform hosted in Microsoft data centers"

The current first sentence of this article, at a minimum, is lifted verbatim out of Microsoft documentation. I'm not sure what else in this article is compromised. Aside from the obvious problem of plagiarism, the use of corporate text makes me wonder about the reliability of the information that is presented. Someone who knows more about Azure should take a close look. Nojamus ( talk) 01:41, 28 August 2012 (UTC)

I am looking for an update on the supported databases on this platform. When I log in to the Microsoft Azure preview portal I see MySQL Database and SQL Database as storage options. MySQL isn't mentioned on the Wikipedia page.. Is there a special reason it's not mentioned yet? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2a02:a03f:412:2d00:9114:d2d1:9305:6995 ( talk • contribs) 15:58, 29 June 2014 (UTC)
Under April 2014 is there a source for this "Azure experiences an outage affecting several customers - "An internal server error has occurred"." Should one be added here? Or should line be removed from the history? Also it has been awhile since I have been on this site to edit, I apologize in advance if I have done something wrong.

Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to 2 external links on

I've done a bit of a clean-up, mostly just reducing subheads to bullet points - the Amazon Web Services article is good template.

Hello, my name is Patricia Wagner and I'm an employee of Microsoft. I work in the Cloud+Enterprise division as a content publisher for Azure products. We are reviewing Wikipedia articles that relate to our areas and would like to update some to better represent the current state and features of our products. Please review the changes below and let me know if they are acceptable to you. Thank you very much for your consideration.
In this article, footnote 17 is currently "Data Factory Developer Reference- Microsoft Azure." We would like to replace that link with this one, which is a more recent, general article about Azure:

The article is top heavy with too much Microsoft website information and not enough outside sources. There are large blocks of information also with no sourcing at all. I removed a little of that but there is a lot more bloat in this article than is needed. At its worst it is a little like a Microsoft promo site. The article needs major trimming and outside sources need to be used. Earl King Jr. ( talk) 09:48, 19 July 2016 (UTC)

The page says that "Microsoft lists over 600 Azure services", but the link referenced ( Directory of Azure Cloud Services) only displays 245 services.
I came here looking for an answer to this question, but am none the wiser. If Azure is cloud-based, is it the same as OneDrive? Or is it a website for experimenting with software? Is it a web-based app or a programming language or a database? Is it for software engineers, IT experts, businesses or the general public? Davidelit (Talk) 03:26, 22 September 2020 (UTC)
I don't think the "A" logo with points edges is being used by Microsoft anymore. If you go to the Microsoft Azure website or their Facebook page, both use Microsoft's window logo. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bartszyszka ( talk • contribs) 15:45, 20 January 2021 (UTC)
The article should include some estimates of market share, or at least a mention of why they're hard to find (because Microsoft mixes revenues from Office365 and other legacy products). Not sure what sources are best here. Example:
The extra income from these other services makes identifying Azure-specific revenue challenging. As a consequence, comparing market share based purely on revenue is almost impossible. But we can still look at Microsoft Azure growth rates through time. The cloud industry continues to be frustrated by the ambiguity in the real dollar amount produced by Azure, making it impossible to evaluate how Azure is actually doing.

Other sources are analyses of overall revenues/spending or surveys:

The article cites a quote “The Fabric Controller, which automates pretty much everything including new hardware installs, is a modified Windows Server 2008 OS”. While this was almost certainly true when Azure originally launched, Server 2008 has been EOL for a while now and no longer is updated. I have no source on this but it’s far more likely the fabric controller is based on whatever the current version of Windows Server is at the time. Tokyotapes ( talk) 13:20, 11 August 2022 (UTC)
