How Airbus is transforming aerospace with Microsoft Azure Stack
This short video shows that Airbus is leveraging Azure Stack in its digital transformation, which enables the company to fine-tune how it designs, builds, and operates complex products. By relying on the hybrid cloud environment to enable transformative services, Azure Stack has helped Airbus create its applications quickly—without having to focus on the underlying layers of the cloud platform stack.
Why did Airbus choose Microsoft Azure Stack?
Airbus Defence and Space chose Microsoft Azure Stack to support a broad digital transformation of how they design, build, and operate complex aerospace products. They needed a hybrid cloud environment that could:
- Support new digital technologies, including IoT, machine learning, and big data.
- Run in environments where a full public cloud is not always practical or allowed.
- Provide a consistent platform across on-premises and cloud deployments.
Azure Stack lets Airbus focus on building and improving applications instead of managing the underlying cloud infrastructure. This has helped them reimagine core engineering and operational processes while keeping control over where and how data is processed.
How is Azure Stack helping Airbus reshape product development?
Azure Stack is a key enabler for Airbus as it reshapes its product lifecycle—from design through to operations.
With Azure Stack, Airbus can:
- Design using data-driven insights from IoT sensors and simulations.
- Build more efficiently by connecting manufacturing systems and analytics in a hybrid cloud setup.
- Operate products using services that rely on machine learning and big data, even in constrained or sensitive environments.
Because Azure Stack mirrors Azure services on-premises, teams can develop and deploy applications quickly without spending time on the lower layers of the cloud platform stack. This shortens the path from idea to production and supports continuous improvement of complex aerospace systems.
What role does Azure Stack play in Airbus’s change management?
For Airbus, Azure Stack is not just a technology choice; it is also a catalyst for organizational change.
It supports change management in several ways:
- Common platform for teams: Engineering, operations, and IT can work on the same hybrid cloud foundation, which helps align processes and priorities.
- Faster experimentation: Teams can create and iterate on applications quickly, encouraging a culture of testing and learning.
- Structured move to digital services: By standardizing on Azure Stack for IoT, machine learning, and big data workloads, Airbus can roll out new digital services in a more predictable and governed way.
In practice, this helps Airbus manage the people, process, and technology aspects of its transformation in a coordinated way, rather than treating cloud adoption as a standalone IT project.
