Azure's global network of data centers offers built-in redundancy and automated failover capabilities, ensuring that applications remain available even in the event of a data center outage.

While Azure provides scalability, its manual configuration requirements for scaling can lead to operational inefficiencies and increased costs.

Azure's static pricing model ensures predictable costs but lacks the flexibility to adjust resources dynamically based on application demand.

Azure's pay-as-you-go pricing model combined with auto-scaling features allows for efficient resource utilization, automatically adjusting to workload changes to optimize costs.

Azure's reliance on physical data centers limits its ability to provide true disaster recovery solutions compared to on-premises setups.
