Tour of Azure services

Azure is Microsoft's cloud computing platform.

It offers a lot of services of different nature:

Compute: helping in hosting applications and services.

Networking: for linking resources and providing access to applications.
Four main types of storage: Blob storage, File storage, Queue storage and Table
storage (NoSQL store).
Mobile: to create services for iOS, Android an Windows.
Databases with global connectivity.
Building and hosting Web applications.
IoT data gathering and analysis.
Analytics solutions for Big Data.
AI: helping with creating and deploying ML models.
README.md
DevOps services for building, testing and releasing your applications.

In this section, it is useful to directly access Azure course and work with the given
sandbox. It does not charge your subscription.

App Service: HTTP-based service that enables you to build many types of web-based
solutions without managing the infrastructure. With an App Service Plan we specify
the compute resources and location for the web app.

Azure Marketplace: Online store that hosts certified and optimized applications to run
in Azure, for example Wordpress in an App Service.

Exercise - Configure an App Service

In this section, it is useful to directly access Azure course and work with the given
sandbox. It does not charge your subscription.

By looking at the performance graphs we can check if we need to perform any changes on
the configuration of our app. When scaling a webb app, we could add network bandwidth,
memory, storage or compute power.

Azure Advisor and Azure Cost Management are two services that help you optimize
cloud spend. You can use these services to identify where you're using more than you
need, and then scale back to the capacity you're actually using.

Finally, notice that there are three categories of configurations plans to make it easier to
define our setup for dev, prod or isolated workloads.

Isolated: This category is ideal for workloads that require advanced networking and
fine-grained scaling.

Exercise - Access an App Service using Azure Cloud Shell

In this section, it is useful to directly access Azure course and work with the given
sandbox. It does not charge your subscription.

Azure Cloud Shell is a browser-based command-line experience for managing and

developing Azure resources
