Product Information

Azure also provides a huge array of services you can use to deliver applications for Web, mobile, and IoT devices; including Azure App Service, Azure Functions, and Azure IoT Edge. Azure also offers services for container-based deployment through services like Azure Container Services and Azure Kubernetes Services. Azure also integrates these cloud services that you need to develop, test, deploy, and manage your applications, all while taking advantage of the efficiencies of cloud computing. By hosting your applications in Azure, you can start small and easily scale your application as your customer demand grows.


Azure Developers design and build cloud solutions such as applications and services. They participate in all phases of development, from solution design, to development and deployment, to testing and maintenance. They partner with cloud solution architects, cloud DBAs, cloud administrators, and clients to implement the solution.
Microsoft offers different types of cloud services in Azure. The most commonly known services are the following:
Infrastructure as a service (IaaS): This type of cloud service allows you to run VMs on the cloud. The cloud service provider will take care of the underlying infrastructure, such as hardware, network, storage, and virtualization platform. However, you will be responsible for managing and maintaining what’s inside VMs.
Platform as a service (PaaS): This type of cloud service allows you to run your applications on Azure. The cloud service provider will take care of managing and maintaining the underlying infrastructure. Running your web app/container/microservices on Azure would unburden the headache of the hardware, network, storage, virtualization, operating system, and IIS. You only need to develop your application and run it.
Software as a service (SaaS): This type of cloud service allows you to use software on the cloud. The cloud service provider will handle the underlying infrastructure, such as hardware, storage, network, virtualization, operating system, and even the application itself. For example, Office 365 provides a variety of solutions ready to be used by you, such as email services, VOIP services, and so on, without implementing Exchange or Skype.
Using and integrating with cloud resources is done using a shared responsibility model which is a cloud security framework that dictates the security obligations of a cloud computing provider and its users to ensure accountability. Simply put, the cloud provider is responsible for the security of the cloud, while the customer is responsible for security in the cloud. Essentially, your cloud provider is responsible for making sure your infrastructure built within its platform is inherently secure and reliable
