Overview

Are you excited about cutting-edge hardware, low-level platform design, and distributed systems challenges at the core of hyperscale datacenters? Do you want to build end-to-end platform capabilities that empower next-generation workloads on the Microsoft cloud?

Azure Service Fabric is the core distributed systems platform at the foundation of critical Azure Infrastructure (like the Azure Control Plane) and customer facing services (like Azure SQL DB, Azure SQL MI, CosmosDB, Azure Container Instances, to name a few). It enables an environment to deploy microservices that run at scale and high availability, enabling low latency failovers, leader elections and highly available distributed Key-Value store for critical compute scenarios. The team is geo-distributed and is a critical foundation to enable new scenarios for Azure.
