Take advantage of the following benefits of virtual machines:

• Scale according to your needs: Combine the performance of a supercomputer with the scalability of the cloud. Scale from one to thousands of virtual machine instances. With the growing number of regional Azure data centers, easily scale worldwide, and be closer to your customers.
• Pay as you go: Keep your budget in check with low-cost, per-minute billing. You only pay for the compute time you use.
• Enhance your security and compliance: Encrypt sensitive data, protect virtual machines from viruses and malware, secure network traffic, and meet regulatory and compliance requirements.
