Know more about AzureWhy Azure?Compared to any other cloud service provider, Microsoft has a vast global footprint. Larger number of data centers located across the globe ensures greater redundancy. High availability of Azure cloud storage facilities makes it easier for businesses to migrate their data and applications where they want it to be. This global expansion of Microsoft cloud platform makes it possible to offer a service level agreement (SLA) of 99.95% for its customers.With Azure, companies only need to pay for the resources that their applications are using. And, should a company need to increase its number of users or its data storage, for example, Microsoft can simply adjust their rate. With this “pay-as-you-go” approach, businesses only pay for space that they need, instead of having to pay for empty storage that they may never use. Further, Azure promotes cost savings through flexibility |

Because Microsoft Azure consists of numerous service offerings, its use cases are extremely diverse. Running virtual machines or containers in the cloud is one of the most popular uses for Microsoft Azure. These compute resources can host infrastructure components, such as domain name system (DNS) servers; Windows Server services -- such as Internet Information Services (IIS); or third-party applications. Microsoft also supports the use of third-party operating systems, such as Linux.
Azure is also commonly used as a platform for hosting databases in the cloud. Microsoft offers serverless relational databases such as Azure SQL and non-relational databases such as NoSQL.
Cloud service roles comprise a set of application and configuration files. There are 2 kinds of roles provided by Azure:
◾ Web role: This provides a dedicated web server belonging to IIS (Internet Information Services) that is used for automatic deployment and hosting of front-end websites.
◾ Worker role: These roles help the applications hosted within them to run asynchronously for longer durations and are independent of the user interactions and generally do not use IIS. They are also ideal for performing background processes. The applications are run in a standalone manner.
It is a command-line tool that is used for generating service package files. The tool also helps in preparing the application for deployment in Microsoft Azure or compute emulator. Every project of cloud service type has the .cscfg file which is basically the cloud service configuration file that is generated by means of cspack tool and is primarily used to store: The number of role instances for the deployment of each role in the project. The thumbprint of the certificates. User-defined configuration and settings.
Azure Blob storage is the object storage solution provided by Microsoft for the cloud. Blob stands for “Binary Large Object”. Blob-based storage is used to store massive unstructured data in terms of text or binary format. It is ideal for serving documents/images/audio/video/text directly to browser.
