Hello Azure
(soft piano music) - [Instructor] It's quite common for beginners to think of the cloud as just a few connected data centers, but soon you'll realize it's a lot more than that. Public clouds are ginormous and really sophisticated. It's the culmination of all the knowledge and experience of the smartest IT professionals in the world put together. What you see on your screen is the massive presence of Microsoft Azure, engulfing pretty much the entire planet Earth, ranging from satellites in outer space to capsule data centers submerged in the oceans. Each data center has custom-built hardware and connects over 150 countries through high-performance networks. It also has the best-in-class security and redundancy to ensure your data is always safe. All of that while maintaining a carbon-neutral footprint for the environment. The big question is, why should you choose Microsoft Azure and not some other cloud service provider out there? Personally, I've been using Microsoft products all my life. For me, there's a sense of familiarity, comfort, and, most importantly, trust that comes with Microsoft. Azure has all the technology and services you need to materialize your vision. If that thought resonates with you, then you understand why Azure. If you are not convinced yet, stay with me, and I'll try my best to change that perspective. Say the magic words, "Hello, Azure," to begin.
