Get Started with Azure Fundamentals

  • Azure services range from computers running in the cloud for you to run your software, to storage, to many other capabilities like Artificial Intelligence and IoT.
  • Cloud computing is the delivery of computing services—including servers, storage, databases, networking, software, analytics, and intelligence—over the Internet (“the cloud”) to offer faster innovation, flexible resources, and economies of scale.
  • Azure Benefits:

    • Be future ready - Continuous innovation from Microsoft supports your development today, and your product visions for tomorrow.
    • Build on your terms - You have choices. With a commitment to open source, and support for all languages and frameworks, build how you want, and deploy where you want to.
    • Operate hybrid seamlessly - On-premises, in the cloud, and at the edge—we’ll meet you where you are. Integrate and manage your environments with tools and services designed for hybrid cloud.
    • Trust your cloud - Get security from the ground up, backed by a team of experts, and proactive compliance trusted by enterprises, governments, and startups.

    • Microsoft representative: Buying Azure through a Microsoft representative is intended for large organizations or customers who already work with one. You'll also manage your Azure deployments and usage, and you will also get a monthly bill from Microsoft for the services used.
    • Microsoft partner: If you buy Azure as a managed service through your partner, your partner will provide you with access to Azure, manage your billing, and provide support.
