Microsoft Azure is a leading cloud computing platform launched by Microsoft in 2010, offering a comprehensive range of services including infrastructure, storage, databases, and networking. Key features include elastic scaling for resource management, robust security via encryption and identity management, and seamless integration with other Microsoft products. It supports developers in building, deploying, and managing applications while providing tools for AI and machine learning capabilities.

1. Microsoft Azure:
Welcome! Today, we'll explore the world of Microsoft Azure, a
leading cloud computing platform.

2. Introduction to Microsoft Azure
What is Azure?
Designed by Microsoft in 2010, Microsoft Azure is one
of the widely used cloud computing platforms.
Microsoft Azure is a comprehensive cloud computing
platform providing a wide range of services, including
infrastructure, storage, databases, networking,
Generally, it is a platform through which we can use Microsoft’s
resources.to set up a huge server, we will require huge
investment, effort, physical space. In such situations, Microsoft
Azure comes to our rescue. It will provide us with virtual
machines, fast processing of data, analytical and monitoring tools,
and so on to make our work simpler. Popularly termed as “Pay As
You Go”

3. Azure's Core Services and
Capabilities
Compute
Virtual machines, containers,
and app services that help
run applications.
Storage
Scalable cloud storage
options like Blob storage,
disk storage, and file storage.
Databases
Managed relational and
NoSQL databases, including
Azure SQL Database and
Cosmos DB.
Networking
Virtual networks, load
balancers, VPN gateways,
and CDN (Content Delivery
Network).

4. Scalability and Flexibility with
Azure
1. Elastic Scaling (Auto-scaling):
Elastic Scaling is a key feature of cloud computing platforms like Microsoft
Azure, which allows applications and services to automatically adjust their
resources based on changing demand. This means you can scale up or scale
down resources like,
Dynamic Scaling:
• Dynamic scaling allows resources to scale up when demand increases (for
example, when traffic spikes or workloads grow) and scale down when
demand decreases (for example, during off-peak hours).
• This flexibility ensures efficient resource utilization and cost-effectiveness.

5. How does Microsoft Azure Work?
It is a private and public cloud platform that helps developers and IT professionals build deploy and manage
applications. It uses the technology known as virtualization. Virtualization separates the tight coupling between
the hardware and the operating system using an abstraction layer called a hypervisor.
​
Hypervisor​emulates all the functions of a computer in a virtual machine, it can run multiple virtual machines at
the same time and each virtual machine can run any operating system, such as Windows or Linux.
