Database Services
Azure Database Services provide a cloud-based data platform for applications and solutions. They are designed to make it easier to deploy, scale, and manage data-driven applications. Azure Database Services is the umbrella term for the suite of Microsoft cloud databases that includes Azure SQL Database, Azure Database for MySQL, Azure Database for PostgreSQL, Azure Cosmos DB, and Azure Database for MariaDB.
- Azure SQL Database is a fully managed relational database service built for the cloud that offers SQL Server features like always-on availability, point-in-time restores, and built-in high availability. It also offers advanced features like data encryption and auditing.
- Azure Database for MySQL and Azure Database for PostgreSQL are both fully managed, relational database services that offer open-source versions of MySQL and PostgreSQL. They offer a range of features like automated backups, point-in-time restores, and built-in high availability.
- Azure Cosmos DB is a distributed NoSQL database service that provides low latency, high availability, and scalability for global applications. It supports multiple data models including documents, key-value, graphs, and columnar.
- Azure Database for MariaDB is an open-source database service that is based on MariaDB. It offers features like automated backups, point-in-time restores, and built-in high availability. All Azure Database Services offer various options for deployment, making them ideal for applications and solutions of any size.
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.
