| |AUGUST 20226CIOReviewAs businesses continue to modernize and innovate their IT infrastructure to support the delivery of digital services and accommodate the new hybrid working, Microsoft Azure has emerged as one of the most widely adopted cloud computing platforms. The wide range of tools and frameworks offered by Microsoft Azure for creating, running, and controlling applications over multiple clouds, on-premises, and at the edge has been a driving factor for its growing popularity.These trends are reflected in the $19.1bn revenue reported by Microsoft's cloud services in the first quarter of 2022.The increased adoption of Kubernetes among enterprises paved the way for a revamped hybrid cloud platform, Azure ARC, allowing customers to manage virtual machines, physical machines, and containerized workloads managed by Kubernetes from a single control plane.While there is increased usage of hybrid and multi-cloud, managing multiple clouds and on-premise environments has intrinsic complexity and risks. Azure managed services and products, such as Azure ARC and Azure Stack HCI/Edge, are designed to uniquely tackle these challenges and extend Azure capabilities to the client environment--from the data center and edge locations to remote offices.
