Microsoft Azure Storage is building a massively scalable, highly distributed, ubiquitously accessible storage system designed to scale out and serve the entire world. The Azure Storage Limitless and Cluster Resource Manager Team manages control and data plane operations that manage hundreds of thousands of servers at exabyte scale while serving hundreds of millions of requests per second at low latency. The team is responsible for optimizing Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) for Azure Storage while allowing customers to scale out with no limits on ingress/egress/IOPS/capacity.
