16. Azure Services

17. Azure compute services
Azure compute is an on-demand computing service for running
cloud-based applications. It provides computing resources such as
disks, processors, memory, networking and operating systems.
• Two common service types for performing
compute in Azure are VMs and containers.

18. Migrate your .NET app to Azure
• Azure App Service is a Platform as a Service (PaaS)
• Azure Virtual Machines
Migrate databases to the cloud
• SQL Server in Azure VMs
• Azure SQL Database

19. Azure compute services - virtual machine services
VMs are software emulations of physical computers. Examples of
Azure services for virtual machines include:
Azure VMs. Infrastructure as a service (IaaS) to create and use
VMs in the cloud
VM scale sets. Designed for automatic scaling of identical
VMs
Functions. Creates infrastructure based on an event
App services. platform as a service (PaaS) offering to build,
deploy, and scale enterprise-grade web, mobile, and API apps

20. Azure compute services – container services
Containers are a virtualization environment. However, unlike virtual
machines, they do not include an operating system. Containers are
meant to be lightweight, and are designed to be created, scaled out,
and stopped dynamically. Examples of Azure services for containers
include:
Azure Container Instances. A PaaS offering that allows you to
upload your containers, which it then will run for you
Azure Kubernetes Service. A container orchestrator service
for managing large numbers of containers

21. Azure storage services – Azure services
Azure Storage is a service that you can use to store files, messages,
tables, and other types of information.
Blob storage. No restrictions on the kinds of data it can hold.
Blobs are highly scalable
Disk storage. Provides disks for virtual machines, applications,
and other services
File storage. Azure Files offers fully-managed file shares in the
cloud

22. Azure database services
Azure database services are fully-managed PaaS database services
that free up valuable time you’d otherwise spend managing your
database
Azure Cosmos DB. A globally-distributed database service that
enables you to elastically and independently scale throughput
and storage
Azure SQL Database. A relational database as a service (DaaS)
based on the latest stable version of the Microsoft SQL Server
database engine
Azure Database Migration. A fully-managed service designed to
enable seamless migrations from multiple database sources to
Azure data platforms with minimal downtime

23. Azure Solutions
Internet of Things Big data and analytics
Microsoft IoT Central
Azure IoT Hub
Azure SQL Data Warehouse
Azure HDInsight
Azure Data Lake

24. AI and Machine Learning
• Azure Machine Learning service. Provides a cloud-based
environment used to develop, train, test, deploy, manage, and track
machine learning models
• Azure Machine Learning Studio. A collaborative, drag-and-drop
visual workspace where you can build, test, and deploy machine
learning solutions without needing to write code

25. Microsoft Power BI
• Power BI lets you easily connect to your data sources, visualize (or
discover) what's important, and share that with anyone or everyone
you want
• Realtime and prediction analytics
