IaaS Services that supports Compute and Storage
1. Virtual machines: virtual computers within computers
A virtual machine, commonly shortened to just VM, is no different than any other physical computer like a laptop, smartphone, or server. It has a CPU, memory, and disks to store your files and can connect to the internet if needed. While the parts that make up your computer (called hardware) are physical and tangible, VMs are often thought of as virtual computers or software-defined computers within physical servers, existing only as code.
2. Azure Blob
Azure Blob storage is a service for storing large amounts of unstructured object data, such as text or binary data. You can use Blob storage to expose data publicly to the world, or to store application data privately. Common uses of Blob storage include:
•Serving images or documents directly to a browser
•Storing files for distributed access
•Streaming video and audio
•Storing data for backup and restore, disaster recovery, and archiving
•Storing data for analysis by an on-premises or Azure-hosted service
3. Azure Files
Azure Files is an Azure File Storage service you can use to create a file share in the cloud. It is based on the Server Message Block (SMB) protocol and enables you to access files remotely or on-premises via API using encrypted communications.
PaaS Services that supports Compute and Storage
1. Azure App Services
Azure App Service is a fully managed Platform as a Service (PaaS) that provides you with the tools and services needed to create reliable and scalable mission-critical Web Apps, Mobile Apps, API Apps, and Logic Apps in a single instance. It takes away your management of the host and lets you focus entirely on building your application for performance.
2. Azure Service Fabric
Azure Service Fabric is a distributed systems platform that makes it easy to package, deploy, and manage scalable and reliable microservices and containers. Service Fabric also addresses the significant challenges in developing and managing cloud native applications.
3. Azure Functions
Azure Functions is a cloud service available on-demand that provides all the continually updated infrastructure and resources needed to run your applications. You focus on the pieces of code that matter most to you, and Functions handles the rest. Functions provides serverless compute for Azure. You can use Functions to build web APIs, respond to database changes, process IoT streams, manage message queues, and more.
4. Azure Kubernetes Service
Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) offers serverless Kubernetes, an integrated continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) experience, and enterprise-grade security and governance. Unite your development and operations teams on a single platform to rapidly build, deliver, and scale applications with confidence.
