What are Azure Services? With nearly 1 billion active users, Azure offers different types of cloud services that are tailored to cater to the diverse needs of numerous industries. Currently, Azure provides more than 200 cloud services, mainly as Platform as a service (PaaS), Software as a service (SaaS), and Infrastructure as a service (IaaS) solutions. In addition to those core services, Azure offers many additional services including: • Machine Learning • IOT • Migration • Data management • Security • Development and Integration
Azure service categories based on cloud computing service models All Microsoft Azure services can be classified into the following categories based on the cloud computing service model they leverage. • Platform as a Service (Paas) PaaS is a cloud-based service model that offers the necessary resources to develop and deploy software applications. It supports the entire software application development lifecycle, eliminating the need to manage infrastructure. PaaS operates on a pay-as-you-go model, enabling users to purchase Azure resources and access them securely over the Internet.
2. Software as a Service (SaaS) Azure SaaS is a service model that allows users to access and utilize cloud-based applications like mail, calendars, and office tools. It allows organizations to deploy applications quickly with minimal costs. Azure manages the hardware and software, such as infrastructure and middleware on your behalf. Therefore, it ensures the high availability and security of those apps. Following are the IaaS services that Azure currently provides. Analytics - Data Catalog, PowerBI Embedded Development - Azure DevOps, Visual Studio App Center IOT - IOT Central
3. Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) IaaS is a cloud service model that provides cloud resources like compute and storage on demand. It also uses a pay-as-you-go model, offering the flexibility to scale resources based on your varying workloads and traffic. It enables organizations to quickly adapt to changing user needs and improve the reliability of their infrastructure. Compute: Azure Vmware Azure VMware Solution, Dedicated Host, Virtual Desktop, Virtual Machines, VM Scale Sets Storage: Azure Storage, HPC Cache, Managed Disks Networking: Azure Firewall, ExpressRoute, Load Balancer, Network Watcher, Private Link, Traffic Manager, Virtual Network, Virtual WAN, VPN Gateway.
