Azure Training

What is Azure?

Azure is a comprehensive set of cloud services that developers and IT professionals use to build, deploy and manage applications through our global network of datacenters. Integrated tools, DevOps and a marketplace support you in efficiently building anything from simple mobile apps to internet-scale solutions.

Uses of cloud computing:

You are probably using cloud computing right now, even if you don’t realise it. If you use an online service to send email, edit documents, watch movies or TV, listen to music, play games or store pictures and other files, it is likely that cloud computing is making it all possible behind the scenes. The first cloud computing services are barely a decade old, but already a variety of organisations—from tiny startups to global corporations, government agencies to non-profits—are embracing the technology for all sorts of reasons. Here are a few of the things you can do with the cloud:

·         Create new apps and services.

·         Store, back up and recover data.

·         Host websites and blogs.

·         Stream audio and video.

·         Deliver software on demand.

·         Analyse data for patterns and make predictions.

Types of cloud services: IaaS, PaaS, SaaS

Most cloud computing services fall into three broad categories:

 infrastructure as a service (IaaS),

 platform as a service (PaaS)

software as a service (Saas).

 These are sometimes called the cloud computing stack, because they build on top of one another. Knowing what they are and how they are different makes it easier to accomplish your business goals.
