9. Virtual Machines (Continue…)
Things need to be taken care while creating a virtual machine
1. The names of your application resources
2. The location where the resources are stored
3. The size of the VM
4. The maximum number of VMs that can be created
5. The operating system that the VM runs
6. The configuration of the VM after it starts
7. The related resources that the VM needs
10. App Service
App Service is a platform-as-a-service (PaaS)
offering of Microsoft Azure. Create web and
mobile apps for any platform or device. Integrate
apps with SaaS solutions, connect with on-
premises applications, and automate business
processes.
Azure runs your apps on fully managed virtual
machines (VMs), with your choice of shared VM
resources or dedicated VMs.
