Knowra Microsoft Azure Microsoft Azure Microsoft Azure is a cloud-computing platform that provides on-demand infrastructure, managed services, and hosted applications through Microsoft-operated data centers.
Cloud computing : Cloud computing delivers computing resources and services over networks on demand. Azure is Microsoft’s implementation of this broader model.
Azure Virtual Machines : Azure Virtual Machines are configurable virtual computers hosted on Microsoft’s cloud infrastructure. They provide direct control over operating systems and compute resources.
Azure Resource Manager : Azure Resource Manager is the deployment and management layer that organizes Azure resources into resource groups and subscriptions. It provides the control plane for creating, updating, and deleting Azure resources.
Amazon Web Services : Amazon Web Services is Amazon’s cloud platform, offering infrastructure and managed services across global data centers. AWS is Azure’s closest broad-scale competitor in public cloud services.
Cloud migration : Cloud migration is the movement of applications, data, and IT workloads from existing environments to cloud platforms. Organizations use it to shift workloads from local data centers onto Azure.
Azure regions : Azure regions are geographic areas containing one or more Microsoft cloud data centers. Regions determine workload location, availability, and data residency.
Azure App Service : Azure App Service is a managed platform for hosting web applications, APIs, and mobile back ends. It deploys applications without requiring customers to manage virtual machines.
Azure Resource Manager templates : Azure Resource Manager templates are declarative JSON files that describe Azure infrastructure for repeatable deployment. They let teams define platform resources as code.
Google Cloud : Google Cloud is Google’s cloud-computing platform for infrastructure, data, AI, and application services. It competes with Azure while emphasizing Google’s data and AI capabilities.
Hybrid cloud : Hybrid cloud combines private infrastructure with public-cloud services, linking workloads and data across environments. Azure supports architectures that connect its cloud with on-premises systems.
