Microsoft Azure (Azure)

Azure is a cloud computing service, which provides on-demand cloud computing platforms and application programming interface's (API) for reliable, scalable, and inexpensive cloud computing services. This allows for building, testing, deploying and managing applications and services. Azure is a set of cloud services to build and run a wide range of applications and services in a highly available host environment.

Network connections back to on-premise datacenters are required services and will be charged based on agency consumption, as well as applicable one-time nonrecurring labor fees.

Enterprise architecture will validate the requested cloud service items by comparing them to the cloud workload optimization service (CWOS) artificial intelligence (AI) solution. This is to ensure the workloads are being optimized and right-sized for best use in the Azure environment.

All new services and upgrades are based on current market prices at the time of procurement as part of the initiation process.
