Overview

The Azure Core Organization is responsible for creating the foundation of Microsoft’s Cloud Platform. This platform is one of the lowest levels of the services software/hardware stack and includes an efficient, virtualized computational substrate, a fully automated service management system, and a comprehensive set of highly scalable storage services.

Azure is a rapidly growing and evolving cloud platform; teams collaborate to manage the capacity lifecycle from demand signals to hardware decommission. Our vision is to create a Capacity Infrastructure Services (CIS) platform to automate hardware, software, and devices provisioning/de-provisioning functions, datacenter operations, business processes, and deliver data analytics end-to-end (e2e). This will enable Microsoft services to manage capacity in a consistent, efficient, and secure way.

Microsoft’s mission is to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more. As employees we come together with a growth mindset, innovate to empower others, and collaborate to realize our shared goals. Each day we build on our values of respect, integrity, and accountability to create a culture of inclusion where everyone can thrive at work and beyond.
