Microsoft Azure Data Centers in Africa
Note: We are not affiliated with the data centers or companies listed below. Listings are compiled from public sources and have not been independently confirmed by us — please verify directly with the company before relying on this information.
Africa’s confirmed Azure footprint is a single facility in Johannesburg, South Africa — Microsoft’s first enterprise-grade datacenters in Africa, making it the first global provider to deliver cloud services from datacenters on the continent. South Africa remains the continent’s most established hyperscale cloud market by a wide margin; Microsoft has since shifted its next wave of African investment toward East Africa, with reports describing a pivot toward Kenya, where a new facility built by G42 will serve as the hub for a new East Africa Cloud Region rather than expanding further in South Africa or West Africa.
Microsoft Azure currently has confirmed facilities across 1 country in Africa.

Disclaimer: This page was compiled with a structured research and verification process from publicly available sources. A human decides whether each page is published, but individual facts — addresses, contact details, and whether a company operates in a given location — are not independently fact-checked by us. Where you see a “Verified” badge, it means multiple independent sources agreed, not that we personally confirmed it. Companies open, close, relocate, and change contact details without always updating public records, so treat everything here as a starting point, not a confirmed source. If you're making a business decision, verify directly with the provider. Notice something outdated or incorrect? You're welcome to let us know — this site is updated periodically.
