Microsoft Azure joins NORAD Tracks Santa to create a Christmas website
Microsoft Azure, Microsoft’s multi-service cloud, will collaborate with the annual NORAD Tracks Santa campaign thanks to its new JavaScript-based website, with hosting in six different regions and translation into nine different languages, so that this event can be seen in different parts of the world simultaneously.
In this way, Microsoft contributes its work for a service that can be especially enjoyed by the little ones at home, who are already eagerly anticipating its arrival with gifts on the long-awaited night of December 24th to 25th.
Microsoft Azure, as described in their blog, has created a JavaScript web that, hosted in six different regions, and translated into nine different languages, including Spanish, will allow children to access a portal with a multitude of elements and interactions.
This website, which can be easily visited by clicking here, shows the countdown until the moment when Santa Claus takes off into the skies to begin his gift delivery. Meanwhile, the little Christmas elves are already resting after a year of hard work and you can see how they live peacefully on an interactive map, where each house has various functions. The most fun part is taking a look!

The curious tracking service for Santa Claus
Nothing escapes the attention of the United States Air Force, not even the route of Santa Claus when he sets out to carry out his meteoric delivery of gifts around the world. With his reindeer-drawn sleigh, capable of reaching very high speeds, NORAD, the US Air Force military service, has been responsible for “monitoring” the images of Santa Claus soaring through the skies for decades, whether it’s preparing for his journey or on the night of December 24th when he is delivering gifts.
Christmas is one of the times where boys and girls have the most excitement, between school holidays, the gifts received, and the themed festivities of this season. That is why NORAD, since the mid-20th century, is in charge of organizing this curious event for those who wish to enjoy Santa Claus flying through the skies. Over the years, the format has evolved, and current times allow for a much more modern format.
