Azure Resources

What is an Azure resource?

Azure resource represents a Microsoft Azure service or resource needed to create a product or solution. Also, anything that can be managed and used using the Azure platform is called an Azure resource. This includes anything that can be added, removed, or ordered, such as a virtual machine, storage account, or web application. The cornerstone of cloud infrastructure management is Azure resources.

Examples of Azure resources

Here are a few examples of Azure resources:

• Virtual machines: Virtual machines let us host and operate cloud-based software and services.

• Storage accounts: Storage Accounts offer our applications scalable and highly available object and block storage.

• Web apps: Building, deploying, and scaling web applications and APIs in the cloud is made possible by platform-as-a-service (PaaS) services known as web apps.

• Databases: Azure offers various database services, including Azure SQL Database, Azure Cosmos DB, and Azure Database for MySQL.

• Virtual networks: Virtual networks allow us to create isolated network environments in the cloud to support our applications and services.

• Load balancers: Load balancers distribute incoming network traffic across multiple virtual machines to ensure high availability and performance.

• Functions: Azure Functions is a serverless computing service enabling us to run event-triggered code responding to specific events.

• Key vault: Key Vault is a secure and highly available storage solution for sensitive information such as keys, passwords, and certificates.

• Container Instances: Container Instances allow us to run Azure containers without any other form of orchestration. ...
