Fundamentals of Azure

Cloud computing🤔

Cloud computing nothing but delivery of computing services over the internet.computing services include servers, storage, databases, networking, software, and more.

server nothing but virual machine(it also a computer with local storage, RAM, and CPU—that is utilized to run applications)

For example, in a company, the system administrator will acquire the multiple servers required for different services.

If these servers are arranged in racks connected with high-data-transfer cables, linked to high-capacity switches, with each server connected to a router, the entire system is maintained by the system administrator.

this set known as data center

If a developer develops an application, they would then notify the system administrator, who will check the availability of servers. The application will then be deployed on the free server. This setup is commonly referred to as a private cloud😃.

A private cloud requires more system administration, making it more challenging and prone to potential issues or damage.

Regarding Amazon Web Services (AWS) and data centers, here's the revised sentence:

Amazon/Azure/Gcp.., for instance, sets up data centers in various locations. Companies can then utilize a specific number of servers from these data centers to run their applications.(this known public cloud)

hybrid cloud in this company is likely to utilize a public cloud, while also maintaining a private cloud for their specific requirements

An Overview of Virtual Machines

📌Microsoft Azure services can be categorized

Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS):

Using virtual machines (VMs), storage, and networking services from Microsoft Azure indicates that we are utilizing Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)

Platform as a Service (PaaS):

Platform as a Service (PaaS) encompasses development tools, database management, and operating systems, including Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS). These services are taken care of by PaaS, allowing users to utilize them directly from Azure. For example, instead of setting up MySQL themselves, users can access MySQL directly from Azure.

Software as a Service (SaaS):

Software as a Service (SaaS) provides hosted applications, which combine Platform as a Service (PaaS), and users can utilize them directly without the need for configuration. All the required setup and maintenance tasks are handled by the SaaS provider. For example, services like Outlook or Google Workspace can be used directly without any additional configuration.
