What do you like best about Microsoft Azure Compute?

Microsoft Azure Compute is a really useful for virtualization of computing services. It's server less architecture, and scalability helps businesses not to incur huge costs for On premise systems for hosting their products and applications.

It uses Kubernatics to manage containers to run web services, and thus makes it easy to manage multiple apps. Batch processing is also one major use. It's usually a bit complicated to be implemented and specially it's difficult to transition from legacy code base to cloud based, and the dependencies often create problems. However Azure has excellent customer support and sometimes for big organizations dedicated resources to help and manage these services. However once set up, it's easy to use and manageable through one single portal. Integration with other softwares often poses a problem but Azure support often helps, and more importantly Azure offers almost all tools for a complete Application, starting from Business, to Agile boards, Test Management, CICD, Reporting. Once a business is transitioned to a cloud based platform like Azure, frequency of use is daily by everyone for all of these purposes by all stakeholders and maintain complete visibility and transparency of work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Microsoft Azure Compute?

The downside of Azure Compute is that it is sometimes complicated to be set up, specially when transition of services from on prem to cloud based is done. Also, cost of using is also good, but spending that amount is always better than all the benefits like scalability, maintenance on prem systems, etc are. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Microsoft Azure Compute solving and how is that benefiting you?

Azure Compute helps in Cloud based computing, hosting, scalability of software solutions and ease the CICD pipelines for the software deployment. It helps in reporting for test management, accurate tracking of work, repository batch process, and everything an organization might need in technical support.

What do you like best about Azure Batch?

Batch functions admirably with characteristically parallel remaining tasks at hand. Characteristically parallel outstanding burdens are those where the applications can run autonomously, and each case finishes some portion of the work. At the point when the applications are executing, they may get to some regular information, however they don't speak with different cases of the application. Inherently parallel remaining tasks at hand can in this way keep running at a vast scale, controlled by the measure of figure assets accessible to run applications all the while.

What do you like best about Azure Batch?

Not only is this a secure and transparent cloud based system for any provider, but it's also an open source. This allows the system to be compatible with systems already being used at work. It also great that it's free at first so you can determine whether or not it's a right fit for your company. They were able to customize the program to work with my current apps, etc. The tutorials are also extremely helpful when trying to develop skills in using the program.

What problems is Azure Batch solving and how is that benefiting you?

It allows to setup elastic job pools which can be triggered programmatically (using .Net SDK,...) with auto scaling up and out. This helps to kick off jobs as and when required with the required number of threads pools as the demand is high and remove those additional pools when the load is lighter depending on CPU percentage metrics and others.
