Azure is Microsoft’s central cloud infrastructure hosting both public cloud offerings and a wide range of Microsoft-internal cloud-scale services. Cloud computing is a highly competitive and rapidly growing market, and Azure aims to be a leader across its platform and services. Within Azure, the Azure Compute team provides core infrastructure for hosting virtual machines (VMs), containers, and other workloads.Capacity management is a critical discipline in cloud computing. It ensures sufficient capacity across regions, allocation domains, and hardware infrastructure to meet customer demand while optimizing efficiency to avoid overspending and reduce cost of goods sold (COGS) and capital expenditures (CAPEX). At Azure’s scale, managing this balance across the entire compute fleet is complex, where improvements can prevent allocation failures and deliver significant savings.
The Azure Compute Capacity and Efficiency (AC2E) team manages all aspects of capacity and efficiency across the fleet. Our primary goal is to provide an automated and optimized tracking and management system.
