Why Azure?

Using Azure for game development provides developers an easy to use, powerful platform to host their infrastructure, store their data and even offload complex computation. Azure supports the broadest selection of operating systems, programming languages, frameworks, tools, databases and devices.  You can run Linux containers with Docker integration; build apps with JavaScript, Python, .NET, PHP, Java and Node.js; build back-ends for iOS, Android and Windows devices. Azure supports the same technologies millions of developers already rely on and trust. Azure instantly scales up or down to match demand, and you only pay for what you use. That means you’re always getting an unbeatable price for performance. Whether you are a single developer, a five-person team, or a massive 100+ studio team, Azure helps you compete in today's fast-paced, dynamic marketplace.
