Better on Azure Maximizing the Power of Open Source

Businesses face increasing pressure to innovate faster, reduce costs and strengthen security while relying more heavily on open-source technologies. However, ageing and inflexible infrastructure often makes it difficult to run and scale mission-critical open-source workloads efficiently. Cloud migration and modernisation offer a path forward, enabling organisations to improve flexibility, performance and reliability while preparing their IT estates for AI-driven innovation.

• Azure provides enterprise-grade support for Linux and open-source workloads, with global scale, high performance and native compatibility across more than 100 popular open-source technologies.
• Organisations can choose from a wide range of endorsed Linux distributions, ensuring reliability, supplier-backed support and seamless migration of existing applications.
• Cost-optimisation options such as Azure Hybrid Benefit and BYOS licensing help reduce expenses while improving operational efficiency and return on investment.

By modernising open-source workloads on Azure, organisations can achieve consistent operations across hybrid and multicloud environments, accelerate innovation, and unlock AI-powered capabilities while maintaining control, security and cost efficiency.
