OverviewAzure Capacity Infrastructure Service (CIS) is an internal service driving capacity build-out and decommissioning through automation. Azure is growing at a fast past and all capacity additions go through us.

As employees we come together with a growth mindset, innovate to empower others, and collaborate to realize our shared goals. Each day we build on our values of respect, integrity, and accountability to create a culture of inclusion where everyone can thrive at work and beyond.
