What this diagram shows
- ACARS and ADS-B data stream in for live flight tracking
- Crew and engineers use mobile apps on the ground
- An event bus connects ops, crew and maintenance systems
Prompt used
Airline operations deployment on Microsoft Azure: ACARS messages and ADS-B flight positions stream into Azure Event Hubs. Flight tracking, crew app and maintenance app backends run on Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS). Operational data is in Azure SQL Database, telemetry in Azure Data Explorer, and ops alerts are sent through Azure Service Bus to downstream systems and notification services.
