Hacking with Microsoft Azure

-

What is Azure?

Microsoft Azure is a flexible, scalable, and full-featured cloud platform. If you can imagine it, you can build it on Azure, using the tools, languages and frameworks you’re already familiar with. Python, JavaScript, Java, .NET - you can run them all on Azure!
Using Azure you can run serverless code using Azure Functions, host web applications and databases, take advantage of artificial intelligence (AI) through Cognitive Services, and create your own machine learning models through Azure Notebooks or powerful Data Science Virtual Machines (DSVM).

AI + Machine Learning ⌛

The AI Services in Azure bring the best of AI to Azure and the best of Azure to AI. It is about bringing the state of the art technology as easy to use cloud services for developers. It’s also about taking advantage of the best capabilities that the cloud has to offer, such as hardware and microservice clusters to make AI scalable.
There are 3 sets of AI services in Azure.
  1. Pre-built AI capabilities, such as Cognitive Service APIs for speech, language understanding, OCR, vision and Search are simple cloud hosted functions.
  2. Conversational AI is now easy with the Azure Bot Service. It allows you to build and deploy chat and conversational applications with ease.
  3. When you have to build a deeply custom AI model with your own data, Azure Machine Learning - aka.ms/HN/AIonAzure provides all you need for cloud scale algorithm and model development.

Azure App Service

Azure App Service enables you to build and host web apps, mobile back ends, and RESTful APIs in the programming language of your choice without managing infrastructure. It offers auto-scaling and high availability, supports both Windows and Linux, and enables automated deployments from GitHub, Azure DevOps, or any Git repo. Learn how to use Azure App Service with our quickstarts, tutorials, and samples.

Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)

The fully managed Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS) makes deploying and managing containerised applications easy. It offers serverless Kubernetes, an integrated continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) experience and enterprise-grade security and governance. Unite your development and operations teams on a single platform to rapidly build, deliver and scale applications with confidence. aka.ms/HN/learnk8s

Cloud Computing in simple

-
Cloud Computing =   Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) + Platform as a Service (PaaS) + Software as a Service (SaaS) Cloud computing, also known as Cloud Technology, Cloud Applications or Cloud-based services. Cloud Computing is the practice of using a network of remote servers hosted on the internet to store, manage and process data, rather than a local server or a personal computer. Examples of cloud-based services include customer self-scheduling, data storage, online payment, and accounting software Different Type of Clouds Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)  – Allows users with the services like Virtual servers, Virtual storage, Physical Database, Virtual Network, Physical Network. E.g. Google Storage ,  IBM Cloud Computing ,  Nimbus Platform as a Service (PaaS)  – Provides computational resources via a platform upon which applications and services can be developed and hosted. E.g. Databases, Data Stores,  Force.com ,  Google App Engine ,...
