Introduction to Microsoft Azure Compute

Orion Withrow

In this course, *Introduction to Microsoft Azure Compute*, you’ll learn about all the different Azure compute services. In addition, you will contemplate the best compute option to meet your needs. First, you’ll explore Azure's Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) offerings, or more specifically the different options to deploy one (or many) virtual machines in Azure. Next, you’ll discover the Platform as a Service (PaaS) capabilities of Azure, including Azure App Services and containers. Finally, you’ll learn about a much newer category of compute called Function as a Service (FaaS), which can empower you to run and manage application packages as functions directly on Azure, without the need for managing any infrastructure. When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have a solid foundational knowledge of Azure's compute offerings and everything you need to select the best Azure compute product or service to meet your requirements.
