Disaster Recovery
The ability to recover from a cloud service outage. Cloud services disaster recovery should happen quickly through automation.
High Availability
The ability to keep services up and running for long periods of time, while experiencing little to no downtime.
Scalability
The ability to increase or decrease resources for a given workload. You can add
resources to service a workload (scale out), or add additional capabilities to handle increases in demand (scale up).
Elasticity
The ability to automatically or dynamically increase or decrease resources as
necessary.
Agility
The ability to react quickly. Cloud services can allocate and deallocate resources
quickly.
Fault Tolerance
The ability to remain up & running even if a component or service is no longer
functioning.
Predictive Cost
The ability to predict what costs will be incurred for a particular cloud service or
offering.
Azure Virtual Machines
Choose a VM when you need more control over the computing environment than the other choices offer.
Azure Container Instances
Azure Container Instances offers the fastest and simplest way to run a container in
Azure, without having to manage any virtual machines.
Great solution for any scenario that can operate in isolated containers, including
simple applications, task automation, and build jobs.
Azure App Service
Azure App Service is an HTTP-based service for hosting web applications, REST APIs, and mobile back ends.
Azure Kubernetes Service
Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) is a managed Kubernetes offering that simplifies container-based application deployment and management.
Azure Functions
Azure Functions allows you to implement your system’s logic into readily available
blocks of code. These code blocks are called “functions”. Different functions can run
anytime you need to respond to critical events.
Internet of Things
A collection of Microsoft-managed cloud services that connect, monitor, and control billions of loT assets. In simpler terms, an loT solution is made up of one or more loT devices that communicate with one or more back-end services hosted in the cloud.
Multi-Factor Authentication
Provides added security for user authentications by requiring two or more elements for authentication
Application Security Group
Configure network security as an extension of an application’s structure
Reuse your security policies at scale
Azure handles the complexity of explicit IP addresses and multiple rule sets
