01What it is

In production terms.

Azure includes App Service for web apps, AKS for Kubernetes, Azure SQL and Cosmos DB for data, and Azure Active Directory for identity. It integrates natively with Office 365, Entra ID, and .NET application stacks.

Codeaxes deploys on Azure when clients operate in Microsoft-centric enterprises with Entra ID single sign-on, existing Azure subscriptions, or compliance requirements tied to Azure Policy and Defender. Hybrid cloud scenarios with Azure Arc are common in regulated industries.
