Azure cloud computing

Microsoft Azure Core Components include:

  • Azure Regions: These are geographical locations that contain data centers where Azure services are hosted.

  • Resource Groups: These are containers used to manage and organize Azure resources.

  • Azure Resource Manager (ARM): This is the deployment and management service that provides a consistent management layer for resources.

  • Compute Services: These include Azure Virtual Machines, Azure App Services, and Azure Functions for running applications.

  • Storage Services: Options for various types of data storage, such as Azure Blob Storage, Azure File Storage, and Azure Table Storage.

  • Networking Services: Tools for connecting and securing resources, including Azure Virtual Network, Azure Load Balancer, and Azure VPN Gateway.

  • Databases: Managed database services like Azure SQL Database, Azure Cosmos DB, and Azure Database for MySQL/PostgreSQL.

  • Development Tools: Azure DevOps and Azure CLI for continuous integration and deployment.

These components work together to provide a flexible, scalable cloud infrastructure for a wide range of applications and services.
