Microsoft Azure is a cloud computing platform and infrastructure under Microsoft for building, deploying, and managing cloud-based applications and services through a global network of Microsoft-managed data centers. Azure provides a wide range of services to use individually or in combination to meet the needs of various applications, businesses, and organizations.
The primary services and features of Azure are:

• Virtual Machines (VMs) 

This service allows you to create and manage virtual machines running Windows or Linux operating systems. You can create and manage VMs from the Azure portal or programmatically through APIs and scripts. Azure offers a variety of configurations and sizes to choose from, and you may also use custom images to create VMs with specific configurations. Additionally, Azure provides various features to manage and secure virtual machines, such as automatic backups, network security groups, and disk encryption.

• App Service 

The App Service is a platform for building and deploying web applications, mobile applications, and API services. With this service, you can create, manage, and deploy web applications and services with various programming languages and frameworks, including ASP.NET, Java, Node.js, and more. The App Service also provides features like automatic scaling, custom domains, and SSL certificates to make managing and deploying applications and services easy.

• Azure Storage 

This service offers scalable and durable data storage services such as Blobs, Files, Queues, and Tables. Blobs store large unstructured data such as images, videos, and backups. Files are used for storing files that multiple clients can access over SMB protocol. Queues are used for storing and processing messages, while Tables are used for storing structured data. Azure Storage provides features such as data replication, automatic data tiering, and data backup and restore.

• Azure SQL Database 

This managed relational database service provides SQL Server capabilities in the cloud. It allows you to easily create, manage, and scale relational databases without having to worry about managing infrastructure or performance. Azure SQL Database provides features like automatic backups, high availability, and disaster recovery.

• Azure Functions 

This is a serverless computing platform for building and running event-driven applications and services. With Azure Functions, you can run small code responding to events, such as incoming HTTP requests, message queues, or scheduled tasks. This allows you to build and deploy applications and services that scale and respond to real-time events. Azure Functions supports various programming languages, including C#, Java, JavaScript, and more.

• Azure Active Directory (AD) 

This cloud-based identity and access management solution provide identity and access management capabilities. Azure AD allows you to manage user identities and access your applications and services and provides features like single sign-on, multi-factor authentication, and conditional access. Azure AD integrates with other Azure services and can secure and manage access to on-premises and cloud applications and services.

• Azure DevOps 

This is a suite of tools for collaboration and planning, development, and deployment of applications and services. Azure DevOps provides collaboration and code management tools, continuous integration and deployment, testing and feedback, and more. Azure DevOps integrates with other Azure services and can manage and deploy applications and services in the cloud and on-premises.

• Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) 

This is a managed Kubernetes service for deploying and managing containers. With AKS, you can quickly and easily create and manage a cluster of preconfigured virtual machines to host containers. AKS provides automatic scaling, load balancing, and health monitoring, making it easy to manage and deploy containers in the cloud.

• Azure IoT Hub 

This is a cloud-based service for managing and communicating with Internet of Things (IoT) devices.
