Azure Functions
Azure Functions is a serverless compute service that enables developers to build and deploy event-driven applications without the need to manage infrastructure. By automatically scaling resources based on demand, it allows for efficient execution of code in response to various triggers, such as HTTP requests, database changes, or messages from other Azure services. This approach simplifies the development process, reduces operational overhead, and supports a wide range of programming languages, including C#, JavaScript, Python, and Java.

Control Plane
Control Plane is a cloud virtualization platform that enables devops teams to compose any combination of cloud infrastructure (bare metal, VMs, k8s, AWS, GCP, Azure, OCI) into one or more AI-native virtual clouds. Applications run at 99.999% availability, backed by an SLA, without added infrastructure complexity. Organizations use it to cut infrastructure costs by 30–50%, eliminate vendor lock-in, and securely deploy workloads, VMs, and AI agents across single-cloud, multi-cloud, hybrid, and on-prem environments from a single AI-enabled interface.
