Are you interested in the cloud business? The Windows Azure Platform is strategic to Microsoft enabling customers, ISVs, and Microsoft IT to develop, test, and deploy solutions in the cloud to take advantage of economies of scale, reliability, globally distributed data centres, and generally reduce the effort of managing dedicated IT infrastructure. Azure is a growing leader in the cloud market with Azure Support enabling customer success and providing a key differentiator when customers make buying decisions.
Cloud Traits:
Cloud Focus: These customers and products are our future even if they cannibalize our present
Cloud Speed: Cloud products change much faster than on-premises products, so readiness requires a new mentality
Cloud Ownership: We own the switches, the drives, the servers, and the service code – we should be able to fix anything that happens
One Microsoft: Support boundaries are (almost) obsolete in the cloud, so let’s not use them to negatively impact the Cloud Experience
Cloud Evangelism: The Cloud is new and can seem scary, so we need to encourage customer and engineers to adopt it
