Compute

One of the most common reasons for enterprises to migrate to the Azure platform is for compute services. Azure offers a variety of hosting choices for apps and services. Here are a few instances of Azure compute services.

Azure Virtual Machines

Windows or Linux virtual machines (VMs) hosted in Azure.

Azure Virtual Machine Scale Sets

Scaling for Windows or Linux VMs hosted in Azure.

Azure Kubernetes Service

Cluster management for VMs that run containerized services.

Networking

Azure networking's primary job is to connect compute resources and provide access to apps. Azure's networking capabilities include a variety of methods for connecting the outside world to services and features in Azure's global datacenters.

Azure Virtual Network

Connects VMs to incoming virtual private network (VPN) connections.

Azure Load Balancer

Balances inbound and outbound connections to applications or service endpoints.

Azure Application Gateway

Optimizes app server farm delivery while increasing application security.

Azure VPN Gateway

Accesses Azure Virtual Networks through high-performance VPN gateways.

Azure DNS

Provides ultra-fast DNS responses and ultra-high domain availability.

Azure Content Delivery Network

Delivers high-bandwidth content to customers globally.

Azure DDoS Protection

Protects Azure-hosted applications from distributed denial of service (DDOS) attacks.

Azure Traffic Manager

Distributes network traffic across Azure regions worldwide.

Azure ExpressRoute

Connects to Azure over high-bandwidth dedicated secure connections.

Azure Network Watcher

Monitors and diagnoses network issues by using scenario-based analysis.

Azure Firewall

Implements high-security, high-availability firewall with unlimited scalability.

Azure Virtual WAN

Creates a unified wide area network (WAN) that connects local and remote sites.

Storage

Azure provides four main types of storage services.

Azure Blob storage

Storage service for very large objects, such as video files or bitmaps.

Azure File storage

File shares that can be accessed and managed like a file server.

Azure Queue storage

A data store for queuing and reliably delivering messages between applications.

Azure Table storage

Table storage is a service that stores non-relational structured data (also known as structured NoSQL data) in the cloud, providing a key/attribute store with a schemaless design.

Databases

Multiple database services are available in Azure to store a wide range of data types and volumes. And, thanks to worldwide connectivity, users may access this information immediately.

Azure Cosmos DB

Globally distributed database that supports NoSQL options.

Azure SQL Database

Fully managed relational database with auto-scale, integral intelligence, and robust security.

Azure Database for MySQL

Fully managed and scalable MySQL relational database with high availability and security.

Azure Database for PostgreSQL

Fully managed and scalable PostgreSQL relational database with high availability and security.

SQL Server on Azure Virtual Machines

Service that hosts enterprise SQL Server apps in the cloud.

Azure Synapse Analytics

Fully managed data warehouse with integral security at every level of scale at no extra cost.

Azure Database Migration Service

Service that migrates databases to the cloud with no application code changes.

Azure Cache for Redis

Fully managed service caches frequently used and static data to reduce data and application latency.

Azure Database for MariaDB

Fully managed and scalable MariaDB relational database with high availability and security.

Web

In today's business world, having a strong web experience is essential. Web apps and HTTP-based web services are built and hosted with first-class support in Azure. Web hosting is the focus of the following Azure services.

Azure App Service

Quickly create powerful cloud web-based apps.

Azure Notification Hubs

Send push notifications to any platform from any back end.

Azure API Management

Publish APIs to developers, partners, and employees securely and at scale.

Azure Cognitive Search

Deploy this fully managed search as a service.

Web Apps feature of Azure App Service

Create and deploy mission-critical web apps at scale.

Azure SignalR Service

Add real-time web functionalities easily.

IoT

People now have more information at their fingertips than ever before. Smartphones evolved from personal digital assistants, and today smart watches, smart thermostats, and even smart refrigerators are available. Personal computers were once the standard. Any item that is online-capable can now access vital information thanks to the internet. IoT refers to a device's ability to gather and then relay information for data analysis.

IoT Central

Fully managed global IoT software as a service (SaaS) solution that makes it easy to connect, monitor, and manage IoT assets at scale.

Azure IoT Hub

Messaging hub that provides secure communications between and monitoring of millions of IoT devices.

IoT Edge

Fully managed service that allows data analysis models to be pushed directly onto IoT devices, which allows them to react quickly to state changes without needing to consult cloud-based AI models.

Big data

Data is available in a variety of forms and sizes. When we talk about big data, we're talking about vast amounts of information. Hundreds of gigabytes of data are generated by weather systems, communications systems, genetic research, imaging platforms, and a variety of other scenarios. With so much data, it's difficult to assess and make decisions. It's frequently so vast that typical processing and analysis methods are no longer adequate.

Azure Synapse Analytics

Run analytics at a massive scale by using a cloud-based enterprise data warehouse that takes advantage of massively parallel processing to run complex queries quickly across petabytes of data.

Azure HDInsight

Process massive amounts of data with managed clusters of Hadoop clusters in the cloud.

Azure Databricks

Integrate this collaborative Apache Spark-based analytics service with other big data services in Azure.

AI

In the context of cloud computing, AI is made up of a variety of services, the most important of which is machine learning. Machine learning is a data science technique that allows computers to predict future actions, results, and trends using present data. Computers that use machine learning learn without being explicitly programmed.

Azure Machine Learning Service

Cloud-based environment you can use to develop, train, test, deploy, manage, and track machine learning models. It can auto-generate a model and auto-tune it for you. It will let you start training on your local machine, and then scale out to the cloud.

Azure ML Studio

Collaborative visual workspace where you can build, test, and deploy machine learning solutions by using prebuilt machine learning algorithms and data-handling modules.

DevOps

By automating software delivery, DevOps combines people, processes, and technology together to provide continuous value to your users. You may use Azure DevOps to develop build and release pipelines for your applications that allow continuous integration, delivery, and deployment.

Azure DevOps
