With the cloud and the edge combines, users can imagine brand new distributed
applications and they can build them on a platform that is comprehensive and
consistent across the board.
- Application Development Platform
Provides total consistency with all programming app services, models, data services and
with DevOps to ensure users have the simplest solution possible for development and
for deployment. Users can make use of Azure Functions to build an event-based system
that will run on Azure IoT Edge, Azure and Azure Stack.
- Security
Makes security management across distributed infrastructures much easier and far less
complex. With the Azure Security Center, users can take advantage of a unified
approach across all environments along with threat protection for all workloads on a
solution that runs from Cloud to Edge.
- Identity
Identity management made simple with Azure Active Directory on all cloud to edge
solutions. AAD assists users in controlling access to apps, data and devices, including
control lists for access, conditional access, access reviews, just-in-time access and
identity protection.
- Management
Intelligent management tools for disaster recovery, backups, monitoring and updates,
built-in to simply cloud resource management in Azure and in your edge environment.
- Artificial Intelligence
Finally, the ability to build Azure machine learning models that can deliver real-time
insights at the edge. Existing machine learning models can be retrained and improved
through the simple transfer of data sets into Azure
