Types of cloud
Public cloud, private cloud and hybrid card
cloud service models
IaaS Infrastructure-as-a-Service
PaaS Platform-as-a-Service
SaaS Software-as-a-Service
Operating Expenses (OpEx)
With Operating Expenses (OpEx), you are only responsible for the computing resources that you use.
Capital Expenditure (CapEx)
Capital Expenditure (CapEx) is the up-front spending of money on physical infrastructure, and then deducting that up-front expense over time. The up-front cost from CapEx has a value that reduces over time.
Azure regions
A region is a geographical area on the planet that contains at least one but potentially multiple datacenters that are nearby and networked together with a low-latency network.
availability zone
Availability zones are physically separate datacenters within an Azure region. Each availability zone is made up of one or more datacenters equipped with independent power, cooling, and networking.
Zonal services
You pin the resource to a specific zone (for example, VMs, managed disks, IP addresses).
Zone-redundant services
The platform replicates automatically across zones (for example, zone-redundant storage, SQL Database).
Non-regional services:
Services are always available from Azure geographies and are resilient to zone-wide outages as well as region-wide outages.
region pair
Each Azure region is always paired with another region within the same geography (such as US, Europe, or Asia) at least 300 miles away. This approach allows for the replication of resources (such as VM storage) across a geography that helps reduce the likelihood of interruptions because of events such as natural disasters, civil unrest, power outages, or physical network outages that affect both regions at once.
Resource
A manageable item that’s available through Azure. Virtual machines (VMs), storage accounts, web apps, databases, and virtual networks are examples of resources.
Resource group
A container that holds related resources for an Azure solution. The resource group includes resources that you want to manage as a group. You decide which resources belong in a resource group based on what makes the most sense for your organization
What get deleted when you delete a resource group?
all resources contained within it are also deleted
Azure Resource Manager
Azure Resource Manager is the deployment and management service for Azure. It provides a management layer that enables you to create, update, and delete resources in your Azure account.
Azure subscription
An Azure subscription is a logical unit of Azure services that links to an Azure account, which is an identity in Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) or in a directory that Azure AD trusts.
Billing boundary
This subscription type determines how an Azure account is billed for using Azure. You can create multiple subscriptions for different types of billing requirements.
Access control boundary
Azure applies access-management policies at the subscription level, and you can create separate subscriptions to reflect different organizational structures
Azure compute services
Azure Virtual Machines
Azure Container Instances
Azure App Service
Azure Functions (or serverless computing)
What are virtual machine scale sets?
Virtual machine scale sets let you create and manage a group of identical, load-balanced VMs
What is Azure Batch?
Azure Batch enables large-scale parallel and high-performance computing (HPC) batch jobs with the ability to scale to tens, hundreds, or thousands of VMs.
What’s app service?
App Service enables you to build and host web apps, background jobs, mobile back-ends, and RESTful APIs in the programming language of your choice without managing infrastructure
What’s a container?
Containers are a virtualization environment. Much like running multiple virtual machines on a single physical host, you can run multiple containers on a single physical or virtual host. Unlike virtual machines, you don’t manage the operating system for a container.
Micro-billing
pay only for the time their code runs
What are Azure Functions?
Azure Functions is a serverless solution that allows you to write less code, maintain less infrastructure, and save on costs. Instead of worrying about deploying and maintaining servers, the cloud infrastructure provides all the up-to-date resources needed to keep your applications running
Azure Logic Apps
Azure Logic Apps is a cloud platform where you can create and run automated workflows with little to no code. By using the visual designer and selecting from prebuilt operations, you can quickly build a workflow that integrates and manages your apps, data, services, and systems.
Management groups
governance scope above subscriptions. You organize subscriptions into management groups; the governance conditions you apply cascade by inheritance to all associated subscriptions.
How many AD can trust a management group?
One
How many management group can be supported in a single directory?
10,000
