Purpose

Microsoft Azure is a cloud computing platform run by Microsoft, which offers access, management, and development of applications and services through global data centers. It provides a range of capabilities, including software as a service (SaaS), platform as a service (PaaS), and infrastructure as a service (IaaS). Microsoft Azure supports many programming languages, tools, and frameworks, including Microsoft-specific and third-party software and systems.

This Activeboard monitors the activity of the different cloud services provided by Azure, gleaning notions of the data distribution considering different criteria.
