Azure Computing Services

Azure computing services are the core cloud services which is responsible for all the data processing tasks and to provide the processing capabilities and handle workloads to produce the maximum outcome from the underlying hardware.

Virtualization :

Virtualization is the process of hosting multiple operating systems on the single underlying host hardware called virtual machines using hypervisors to share the host system resources is called as virtualization. It is the core function which is responsible for Iaas of any cloud deployments.

Now we will look into all the types of computing services available on the azure cloud to facilitate all the computing needs over the internet.

Azure VMs :

Azure VMs are the virtual machines hosted on the azure cloud which is responsible for hosting data , applications, websites and all other services on the virtual machine. There are multiple images available on the Azure cloud which can be used by getting it from the marketplace and developers also have the option to package and host own OS from hosting it into the Azure blob storage to meet the custom requirements for any organizations over cloud.

On using Azure VMs we have the full control over the cloud resource and it is capable to running almost all the services available on the azure cloud.

Azure Scale Set VMs :

Scale set are the predefined templates which can be used to deploy VMs with the same initial configuration in rapid deployment times to ensure increased workloads or to provide HA in case of any failures, they are binded using the policies where all the triggers are configured to deploy and scale automatically or manually according to the needs of the organization.

Azure Containers :

Containerization is a lightweight form of virtualization that allows applications to be packaged with all their dependencies and run consistently across different environments. It involves encapsulating an application and its required libraries, binaries, and configuration files into a standardized unit called a container.

Azure Kubernetes services :

Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) is a managed Kubernetes service in Microsoft Azure that simplifies the deployment, management, and scaling of containerized applications. It eliminates the complexity of maintaining a Kubernetes control plane, allowing users to focus on developing and running applications.

Azure App Services :

Azure App Service is a fully managed platform-as-a-service (PaaS) that enables developers to build, deploy, and scale web applications and APIs in multiple programming languages without managing the underlying infrastructure. Similar to the elastic beanstalk service on the Amazon AWS

Azure Functions :

Azure Functions is a serverless computing service that enables you to run event-driven code without managing infrastructure. It automatically scales and charges only for execution time, making it an efficient choice for lightweight, on-demand workloads.

These are the compute services available on offer to provide all the different computational requirements on Azure for nearly all organizations and endpoint customers.
