Overview
Microsoft develops operating systems, productivity software, cloud services, and developer tools. Windows, Microsoft 365, and Azure address different layers of computing, from an individual's device to applications operated as network services.
Products and role
Microsoft Learn organizes technical documentation by product. Azure documentation covers cloud infrastructure and application services; Microsoft 365 documentation focuses on workplace applications and administration.
A useful distinction
Microsoft is the company, while Azure, Windows, and Microsoft 365 are separate product families. Account permissions, deployment choices, and licensing should be evaluated for the specific product.
