Bigger, Faster, and more agile

Microsoft Azure Virtual Machines allow you to deploy a wide range of computing solutions in an agile way. With Virtual Machines, you can deploy nearly instantaneously and you pay only by the minute. With Windows, Linux, SQL Server, Oracle, IBM, SAP, and BizTalk, you can deploy any workload, any language, on nearly any operating system.

Virtual Machines with Resource Manager Templates

Virtual machines, virtual networks and storage accounts can now be included in Azure Resource Manager (ARM) templates. Azure Resource Manager is the heart behind the new Azure portal and now the power of Resource Manager can be used directly with these core resources. Azure Resource Manager templates enable single click deployments of complex applications into a resource group. This resource group can contain all elements of an application that can then be managed as a single unit through advanced role based authentication and control (RBAC) and per-resource tagging capabilities.
