How Azure Works

Hypervisor

• Hypervisor helps in creating VMs on Physical Infrastructure.

Azure

• Azure takes the Hypervisor technology to a large scale Datacenters
• For each Rack Azure adds a Fabric Controller.
• Azure has orchestrator and it is exposed via APIs
• Every request made on portal/cli/sdk reaches orchestrator.
• Then Orchestrator finds the right rack and forwards the request to fabric controller.
• Fabric Controller follows the orders from Orchestrator and creates necessary resources.
