For example, Azure Live Migration team in IDC works on a platform that creates customer impact across availability, capacity, and efficiency pillars. Ensuring the customer SLAs at scale requires us to architect and build systems across all layers of Azure Core stack (Azure Compute Manager, Compute Resource Provider, Azure Resource Mover, Azure Service Fabric, etc.)
