Windows Azure is an open and flexible cloud computing platform that allows users to build, deploy, and manage applications across a global network using any programming language, tool, or framework. It provides compute, network, data, and application services that allow users to build applications faster at a lower cost and with global scale. These services include virtual machines, web sites, cloud services, SQL databases, caching, and more. Windows Azure offers a free trial account that can later be converted to a paid account with pricing based on usage.
