Introduction
Azure is a Microsoft Cloud computing platform ever expanding set of services to help build solutions to
build business goals. It provides Cloud-based services such as remote storage, database hosting, centralized
management, and Artificial Intelligence.
What is Cloud Computing?
Cloud Computing is storing and accessing data and programs over internet instead of your computer’s hard
drive. The services include servers, storing databases, networking, software analytics, and intelligence. In
simple words, if you want to create a server but you do not want to own a infrastructure. Ex: Amazon Web
Series.
Benefits of Cloud Computing:
1. You pay only for the resources you use.
2. You can request more storage if you need.
3. Reliability, Elasticity and Agility
There are three cloud computing service models:
1. IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) – Cloud-base services, pay-as-you go such as storage, network,
and vitalization. IaaS customers can control their own infrastructure and they do not need to be onsite. Examples are: Amazon Web Series, Microsoft Azure
2. PaaS (Platform as a service) – Hardware and Software tools available on the internet. It provides
developers with a framework they can use to build custom applications. Examples: Google App
Engine, OpenShift.
3. SaaS (Software as a service) – Software that’s available via third party over the internet. Examples
are: JIRA, Dropbox.
What is Azure?
Azure is expanding a set of cloud services the help meet current and future business challenges. It also gives
freedom to build, manage and deploy applications on global network using tools and frameworks.
Azure uses technology virtualization. Virtualization separates the tight coupling between the hardware and
operating system using an abstraction layer using a hypervisor.
Azure services include: Compute, Networking, Storage, Mobile, Databases, Web, And Artificial
