Azure App Service Plan

Azure App Service Plan provides the underlying infrastructure for hosting web apps, mobile app backends, RESTful APIs, or automated business processes. It allows you to scale your applications and manage resources efficiently.

Azure App Services

Azure App Services is a fully managed platform for building, deploying, and scaling web apps, mobile app backends, and RESTful APIs. It provides a range of services and features to help you create and manage applications efficiently.

Azure Batch

Azure Batch is a cloud-based job scheduling service that enables you to run large-scale parallel and high-performance computing (HPC) applications efficiently in the cloud. It allows you to scale your applications and manage resources effectively.

Azure Container Instances

Azure Container Instances (ACI) is a service that enables you to run containers in a managed, serverless environment. ACI allows you to deploy containers without managing underlying virtual machines or infrastructure, providing an efficient way to run containerized applications.

Azure Container Registry

Azure Container Registry is a managed, private Docker registry service that allows you to build, store, and manage container images and artifacts. It integrates seamlessly with Azure services, including Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS), Azure DevOps, and more, providing a secure and scalable solution for container lifecycle management.

Azure Functions

Azure Functions is a serverless compute service that enables you to run event-driven code without having to provision or manage infrastructure. It supports various programming languages and integrates with other Azure services, making it a flexible and scalable solution for building applications.

Azure Kubernetes Service

Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) is a managed Kubernetes service that simplifies the deployment, management, and operations of Kubernetes clusters. It offers built-in monitoring, scaling, and security features, making it ideal for running containerized applications at scale.

Azure Proximity Placement Groups

Azure Proximity Placement Groups help improve the performance of applications by reducing latency between virtual machines. They ensure that the VMs are physically located close to each other within the Azure datacenter, thereby minimizing network latency and enhancing application performance. This feature is particularly useful for applications that require low latency and high throughput, such as high-performance computing (HPC) and financial services applications.

Azure Service Fabric

Azure Service Fabric is a distributed systems platform that simplifies the packaging, deployment, and management of scalable and reliable microservices and containers. It supports both stateless and stateful microservices, providing a robust environment for building and managing cloud-native applications.

Azure Spot Instances

Azure Spot Instances provide a cost-effective way to run workloads by taking advantage of unused capacity in Azure. They offer significant cost savings compared to pay-as-you-go prices but come with the risk of eviction when Azure needs the capacity back.

Azure vCPU Quotas

Azure vCPU Quotas help manage the number of virtual CPUs (vCPUs) that can be used within a subscription in a specific region. They ensure that resources are allocated efficiently and prevent over-provisioning.

Azure VM Extensions

Azure VM Extensions are small applications that provide post-deployment configuration and automation tasks on Azure virtual machines. They help you manage and maintain your VMs by automating tasks such as installing software, configuring settings, and monitoring the VM’s health.

Azure Web Apps

Azure Web Apps is a fully managed platform as a service (PaaS) that enables you to build, deploy, and scale web applications quickly and efficiently. It supports multiple programming languages and frameworks, providing a robust environment for hosting web applications, REST APIs, and mobile back ends.
