Azure provides a vast number of services, but some are more popular and foundational than others. These services fall into different categories like compute, storage, databases, and networking. Here's a list of some of the most popular Azure services.
Below flow diagram help to choose right candidate service of type solution and requirement.
Compute Services
These services provide the computing power for your applications.
Azure Virtual Machines (VMs): This is a core Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) offering that lets you create and manage virtual servers running Windows or Linux. It gives you the most control over the operating system and software.
Azure App Service: A Platform as a Service (PaaS) for building and hosting web apps, mobile backends, and APIs. It's a fully managed environment, meaning you don't have to worry about the underlying infrastructure.
Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS): A managed container orchestration service based on the popular open-source Kubernetes system. It simplifies the deployment and management of containerized applications.
Azure Functions: A serverless compute service that lets you run small pieces of code on demand without provisioning or managing servers. It's perfect for event-driven applications and microservices.
Azure App Container : Azure Container Apps is a fully managed serverless container service that runs microservices and containerized applications on Azure. It provides built-in autoscaling, including scale to zero, and supports multiple programming languages and frameworks.
Storage and Database Services
These services are for storing and managing your data.
Azure Blob Storage: A highly scalable and durable object storage solution for unstructured data like images, videos, documents, and backups.
Azure File Storage: Fully managed file shares in the cloud
Azure Queue storage: is managed cloud message service that stored large number of messages.
Azure Disk Storage: Persistent block storage for Azure VMs
Azure SQL Database: A fully managed, intelligent, and scalable relational database service that's based on the Microsoft SQL Server database engine.
Azure Cosmos DB: A globally distributed, multi-model database service that guarantees single-digit millisecond latency and high availability. It supports a variety of data models, including document, key-value, and graph.
Azure Database for MySQL/PostgreSQL: Managed database services for open-source relational databases, providing a familiar experience without the administrative overhead.
Networking and Security Services
These services ensure your applications are secure and accessible.
Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure Active Directory): A cloud-based identity and access management service that helps you securely manage access to Azure resources and other cloud applications. It's essential for single sign-on (SSO) and multi-factor authentication (MFA).
Azure Virtual Network (VNet): This is the fundamental building block for your private network in the cloud. It allows Azure resources to communicate with each other, the internet, and on-premises networks.
Azure Content Delivery Network (CDN): A service that caches web content on servers around the world to speed up delivery and reduce latency for users.
Azure Load Balancer: Distribute traffic across resources
Azure Application Gateway: Distribute traffic across resources
Developer and AI Services
Azure Key Vault: Securely store secrets, keys, and certificates
- Azure KMS : Azure's key management ecosystem allows you to secure, manage, and control access to encryption keys used by your cloud applications and services
- Azure WAF service: powerful security feature designed to protect your web applications from common threats and vulnerabilities—without requiring changes to your backend code.
Developer and AI Services
These services help developers build and manage applications and integrate AI.
Azure DevOps: A suite of services for software development teams, including code repositories (Azure Repos), automated build and release pipelines (Azure Pipelines), and project tracking (Azure Boards).
Azure OpenAI Services: A collection of pre-built APIs for adding cognitive capabilities to applications, such as computer vision, natural language processing, and speech.
Azure Cognitive Services : Pre-built AI APIs for vision, speech, and language
