Azure makes it possible for any developer to become a space developer. For years, Microsoft has enabled the software development community through extensive tools and platforms, such as Visual Studio and Github. Tom Keane states: we support various industries like critical, financial services, and healthcare. Now we are expanding to space.
Microsoft’s platform allows on-orbit computing at the outer edge, connecting AI workloads on spacecraft to Azure cloud’s hyper-scale technology as Tom Keane explains. Our goal is to bring our developer story’s power, security, and approachability to the next frontier. Azure’s space development platform provides various resources to help developers create applications and services in outer space.
Our platform is built on Azure Sphere, an end-to-end solution for developing secure, connected devices. This includes a customized Linux kernel, the security features of Azure Security Center, and the ability to deploy code directly to on-orbit devices. Tom Keane informs that Azure also provides a range of services and tools, such as Cosmos DB, Machine Learning Studio, and Event Hubs.
This, to support the development of AI-driven applications. Developers can easily access these resources through our web portal or the command line interface. Tom Keane, the Corporate Vice President of Azure, says, “Azure has the power to enable new levels of connectivity and collaboration in space (Jpost).
It’s an exciting time for space development, and we’re excited to be part of it.” Azure is uniquely positioned to help space developers create applications that can empower humanity and its exploration of the universe. Tom Keane adds: we are committed to providing a secure, connected, and accessible platform for developers who want to make their mark in space development.
Azure’s space development platform is also designed to be reliable, secure, and cost-effective. Our extensive security model includes the latest technologies for protecting data in transit and at rest. Our platform is built on Azure Stack, a hybrid cloud solution that provides enhanced security, reliability, and scalability. Additionally, as Tom Keane finally adds, our services are priced competitively to ensure affordability for developers of all sizes.
