Azure Service Fabric represents the next generation hosting environment for cloud-scale solutions. Service Fabric makes it much easier to deploy and manage highly scalable, available, and reliable services. Applications designed as microservices are well suited to run on Service Fabric, primarily due to Service Fabric’s runtime and lifecycle management capabilities—providing comprehensive capabilities for failover, leader election, state management, live upgrades with rollback, and automatic scale-up and scale-down.

Service Fabric is a proven platform for running critical, cloud-scale solutions. In fact, Microsoft uses Service Fabric to power some of Microsoft’s most critical services, such as Skype for Business, Cortana, Azure SQL Database, Azure Event Hubs, and several more.

Service Fabric is not a platform that runs exclusively on Azure. You can deploy Service Fabric on-premises, in other cloud platforms, or, of course, in Azure. Microsoft has also committed to providing Service Fabric for both Windows and Linux operating systems. All this makes Service Fabric a platform you can run pretty much anywhere!
