Four primary models for building and running apps Microsoft Azure

1. Virtual Machines
VMs are basic cloud building blocks. Get full control over a virtual machine with virtual
hard disks. Install and run software yourself. Configure multiple machines with different
roles to create complex solutions. VMs are nearly identical to conventional (real)
servers, and are the easiest way to move existing workloads to the cloud.
2. Cloud Services
Easily access and manage these general-purpose VMs . We maintain and update each
VM as needed with system updates. You configure the VM size as needed, and scale out
as many copies as needed. Two types of VMs: worker roles and web roles—worker roles
are made for computing and running services. The web role is simply a worker role with
IIS already installed and configured.
3. Web Sites
Use these for pure web apps. The underlying system software is hidden from you and
managed for you. Focus only on your web code. First, choose a web technology from
the gallery, then develop with your framework, and finally deploy from your source
control. Use the data platform of your choice. Develop 1 site or 500. Scale can be
automated—by schedule, usage, or by a quota trigger.
4. Mobile Services Azure is an open and flexible
Mobile Services allows you to quickly implement data and authentication capabilities.
With Mobile Services, easily create a common web API to store data and execute
cloud platform that enables
you to quickly build, deploy,
business logic. Apps on any device call the API, and users are authenticated by third
party providers. Apps can also receive notifications when events occur. Worry less about
data and authentication, and focus on your service.
