I will give you a walkthrough of various Azure services which are available to us. Azure services can be broken down into 8 main categories.

1. Compute services

2. Cloud Storage

3. Networking

4. App hosting

5. Artificial Intelligence

6. Internet Of Things

7. Integration

8. Security

Compute Services

• Virtual Machine

  This service enables you to create a virtual machine in Windows, Linux or any other configuration in seconds.

• Cloud Service

  This service lets you create scalable applications within the cloud. Once the application is deployed, everything, including provisioning, load balancing, and health monitoring, is taken care of by Azure.

• Service Fabric

  With service fabric, the process of developing a microservice is immensely simplified. Microservice is an application that contains other bundled smaller applications.

• Functions

  With functions, you can create applications in any programming language. The best part about this service is that you need not worry about hardware requirements while developing applications because Azure takes care of that. All you need to do is provide the code.

Networking Services

• Azure CDN

  Azure CDN (Content Delivery Network) is for delivering content to users. It uses a high bandwidth, and content can be transferred to any person around the globe. The CDN Service uses a network of servers placed strategically around the globe so that the users can access the data as soon as possible.

• Express Route

  This service lets you connect your on-premise network to the Microsoft cloud or any other services that you want, through a private connection. So, the only communications that will happen here will be between the enterprise network and the service that you want.

• Virtual network

  The Virtual Network allows you to have any of the Azure services communicate with one another privately and securely.

Azure DNS

This service allows you to host your DNS domains or system domains on Azure.

Storage Services

• Disk Storage

  This service allows you to choose from either HDD (Hard Disk Drive) or SSD (Solid State Drive) as your storage option along with your virtual machine.

• Blob Storage

  This service is optimized to store a massive amount of unstructured data, including text and even binary data.

• File Storage

  This is a managed file storage service that can be accessed via industry SMB (server message block) protocol.

• Queue Storage

  With queue storage, you can provide stable message queuing for a large workload. This service can be accessed from anywhere in the world.

Database Services

Azure Cosmos DB

• Globally distributed database that supports NoSQL options Azure SQL Database Fully managed relational database with auto-scale, integral intelligence, and robust security.

  Azure Database for MySQL

• Fully managed and scalable MySQL relational database with high availability and security.

  Azure Database for PostgreSQL

• Fully managed and scalable PostgreSQL relational database with high availability and security SQL Server on VMs Host enterprise SQL Server apps in the cloud.

  Azure SQL Data Warehouse

• Fully managed data warehouse with integral security at every level of scale at no extra cost.

  Azure Database Migration Service

  Migrates your databases to the cloud with no application code changes.

  Azure Cache for Redis

• Caches frequently used and static data to reduce data and application latency Azure Database for MariaDB

• Fully managed and scalable MariaDB relational database with high availability and security
