This document provides an overview of key services available on the Azure cloud computing platform, including compute, storage, analytics, web/mobile, media, IoT, identity, networking, and hybrid services. It specifically highlights DocumentDB, a NoSQL database service, Azure Functions for serverless computing, Machine Learning capabilities, and Cognitive Services for AI features like vision, speech, and language APIs. The document encourages trying out these "good parts" of Azure for more developer productivity and less operations work.

1. Azure – The Good Parts

6. More dev, less ops!
 Instead, we chose the cloud-native approach,
rebuilding virtually all of our technology and
fundamentally changing the way we operate the
company. Architecturally, we migrated from a
monolithic app to hundreds of micro-services, and
denormalized our data model using NoSQL
databases.”
