Yugabyte is now offering its managed database service on Microsoft Azure, expanding its global reach to 15 regions with more to come. This allows users to have flexibility in choosing their cloud provider without vendor lock-in. Dedicated clusters on Azure are governed by the same enterprise-grade SLA as before and maintain a fully-managed experience with convenient upgrades, backups, and monitoring. Deploying these clusters is simple using Yugabyte's web interface or automation tools like Terraform. The integration enhances the user experience and provides more choices for users, making it easier to manage their databases.
