Azure is a cloud platform. &nbsp;There are good reasons to migrate to it - you don't have the bandwidth or hardware necessary to support the web site at your own facility - and there are reasons not to migrate - additional cost, management overhead. &nbsp;Whether or not it's a good decision depends on your client's priorities.

Hi everybody.<br />
First let me say I don't know (almost) anything about MIcrosoft Azure :)<br />
My client asked me if it could be useful migrate his web application (HTML5, Javascript and Php) from current Linux server to MIcrosoft Azure. I don't know what I can answer indeed. I would like to know your opinion about this.<br />
<br />
Thank you.

Does it make sense migrate a website to MIcrosoft Azure

Microsoft Azure is a cloud computing platform and infrastructure for building, deploying and managing applications and services through datacenters. It provides both platform-as-a-service (PaaS) and infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) services and supports many different programming languages, tools and frameworks, including both Microsoft-specific and third-party software and systems. Cloud Services is a PaaS environment and can be used to create scalable applications and services; there are specific software development kits (SDKs) provided by Microsoft for Python, Java, Node.js and .NET. Azure also has file and storage services, data management, analytics and DNS services.

Web applications are systems that run in browsers that perform functions normally associated with other client-based programs. One of the most commonly used web applications is email; instead of downloading individual emails to a local machine, the data is shown through a website. Other examples of web applications are collaborative systems like a wiki or an online game.

Web Applications

Web development includes all aspects of presenting content on intranets and the Internet, including delivery development, protocols, languages and standards, server software, browser clients, databases and multimedia generation.
