Azure Virtual Machines
- Azure Virtual Machines (VMs) are cloud-based virtual machines that are hosted on Azure, Microsoft’s cloud computing platform. VMs are used to create and configure virtualized operating systems and applications, making it possible to run multiple copies of multiple operating systems and applications on a single physical server.
- VMs are used to host websites, applications, and databases, or to provide secure storage and remote access to corporate data. Virtual machines are created using a set of pre-configured images that are stored in the Azure Marketplace. These images can be used to quickly deploy virtual machines without having to manually install the software or configure the underlying operating system.
- Once the virtual machine is created, it can be customized to meet the specific needs of the organization. Azure Virtual Machines provide organizations with a secure and reliable way to host their applications and services. They are protected from malicious attacks, and organizations can use them to securely access and store corporate data in the cloud.
- Additionally, Azure Virtual Machines can be easily scaled up or down to meet the changing demands of an organization. This makes them ideal for businesses that are looking to quickly and easily deploy and manage their applications and services in the cloud.
What is Azure Compute Services?
Pre-requisite: Azure
Azure Compute Services are the core set of cloud computing services that allow you to deploy and manage workloads on Microsoft Azure. These services provide the infrastructure, tools, and platforms for computing and storage needs. Compute services are the building blocks of any cloud solution, providing the underlying technology that enables your applications and workloads to run in the cloud.
Compute services leverage the power of Microsoft Azure to bring you scalable, secure, reliable and cost-effective cloud computing. Microsoft Azure Compute services provide the infrastructure, tools, and platforms needed to create, deploy, and manage cloud computing solutions. Compute services allow you to quickly and securely deploy workloads in the cloud and provide the scalability and reliability needed for applications and services.
