A MicroCloud is a new lightweight, featureful, and straightforward cloud for on-demand computing at the edge. MicroClouds differ from IoT which uses thousands of single machines or sensors to gather data, yet does not perform computing tasks. Instead, MicroClouds reuse proven cloud primitives with unattended, autonomous, and clustering features that resolve typical edge computing challenges.

A multi-cloud database strategy enables you to retain control of your infrastructure while enhancing overall resiliency and leveraging the unique strengths of each cloud provider.

In this video, Azure MVP Michael Stephenson introduces the auto-correct feature that automatically restores a disabled Logic App to its running state.
