Azure Storage Explorer

Microsoft's Azure is a cloud computing platform that allows for rapid and secure application development, testing and management. Azure. Invent with purpose. Turn ideas into solutions with more than 100 services to build, deploy, and manage applications—in the cloud, on-premises, and at the edge—using the tools and frameworks of your choice. Continuous innovation from Microsoft supports your development today, and your product visions for tomorrow. With a commitment to open source, and support for all languages and frameworks, build how you want, and deploy where you want to. On-premises, in the cloud, and at the edge—we’ll meet you where you are. Integrate and manage your environments with services designed for hybrid cloud. Get security from the ground up, backed by a team of experts, and proactive compliance trusted by enterprises, governments, and startups. The cloud you can trust, with the numbers to prove it.

Azure Virtual Network gives you an isolated and highly-secure environment to run your virtual machines and applications. Use your private IP addresses and define subnets, access control policies, and more. Use Virtual Network to treat Azure the same as you would your own datacenter. Traffic between Azure resources in a single region, or in multiple regions, stays in the Azure network—intra-Azure traffic doesn’t flow over the Internet. In Azure, traffic for virtual machine-to-virtual machine, storage, and SQL communication only traverses the Azure network, regardless of the source and destination Azure region. Inter-region virtual network-to-virtual network traffic also flows entirely across the Azure network. Use Virtual Network to extend your on-premises IT environment into the cloud, like you set up and connect to a remote branch office. You have options to securely connect to a virtual network—choose an IPsec VPN or a private connection by using Azure ExpressRoute.
