About MS Azure
Microsoft Azure is an ever-expanding set of cloud services that helps your business conquer all the challenges. It offers the freedom to build, manage, and deploy applications on a massive global network using your favorite tools and frameworks.
Today, plenty of businesses are still concerned about migrating applications to the cloud. Fears about network security, availability, and potential downtime swirl through the minds of chief decision makers. Sometimes that pushes businesses into stagnation because existing technology is ageing by the minute.
This is where Microsoft Azure enters – the industry leaders’ solution for migrating to a partially or totally cloud-based architecture.
Why Hire an Azure Developer?
Azure development can help companies in many areas for cloud requirements:
- Building, deploying, and managing applications through the global data center network.
- Exploring the new Azure public cloud servers
- Development of cloud services
- Development of client web-applications and utilities
- Development of unit tests for your code
- Maintenance of services (refactoring, optimization, error correction)
- Design and participation in the selection of technologies and components used
- Participation in the development of plans and evaluation of technical implementation
What does an Azure Developer do?
Azure Developers build and deploy apps and services on the Azure platform. Previous development experience is a plus if you want to become an Azure Developer. Other Microsoft products like Powershell, Office 365, and Dynamics 365 all integrate with Azure and being familiar with them is an advantage.
What does an Azure Administrator do?
The role of an Administrator is a vital one across many technologies; Admins keep their fingers on the pulse of their systems, installing, configuring, and monitoring everyday functions and ensuring everything is running as it should.
Azure Administrators need to have a good grip on topics like SQL databases, back up, disaster recovery, virtualization and high availability techniques to ensure their Azure platform is in the best shape at all times. They will be expected to monitor the performance of Azure apps and services, perform audits, and proactively work to optimize functionality.
Admins often act as the bridge between Azure users and the technical team behind it, so they need to be able to communicate well with users of all experience levels.
What does an Azure Consultant do?
When a business is ready to take the first step toward a cloud-first approach to their operations, they speak to an Azure Consultant. Often called Pre-Sales Consultants – these professionals talk to businesses to find out what they want to get out of their migration to the cloud. They gain an understanding of the clients’ requirements, and map out the best possible solution.
Once they’ve worked out what their client needs, consultants will translate those needs into a practical plan, advising on the best products and services to achieve their client’s goals. They will create a migration plan to help them execute the big move.
