Virtual Machines are one of the Azure Compute way to host your solution and is the base Infrastructure component of the Cloud. Virtual Machines are logical machines which are created by the cloud using  Hypervisors  but for end user they act like physical machines containing all the components like RAM, CPU, Storage and Network. The physical hardware resources of the datacentre are intelligently managed and allocated to the virtual machines and these virtual machines are being paid for according to their location, performance and storage parameters. Hypervisor is a technology which manages these virtual machine allocations. One physical machine share its resource to multiple VMs. VMs have their own Operating system which is selected at the time of the creation of the VM.  Azure offers a number of ways to host your application code. The term compute refers to the hosting model for the computing resources that your application runs on. • "Lift and shift" is a strategy f...

Microsoft Azure is the second largest cloud technology to provide you various services.  In  order to understand the cloud, you need to understand the cloud basics or glossary. Here is the brief introduction and the major terminologies used in cloud Cloud Service Model Cloud systems offer three service models for your solution: ·          IAAS – Infrastructure As A Service -Infrastructure Provisioning/providing ·       PAAS – Platform As A Service - Dev/Deployment Environment provider ·       SAAS – Software As A Service- Web based Application provider    Cloud Deployment Model ·         Public ·         Hybrid ·         Private Cloud Architecture Terminologies  While dealing with Cloud offerings you will come across with these terminologies quite frequently, lets see what...
