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.
