4:01 integration Internet of Things management media migration mobile networking Security Storage web and virtual desktop but among these we will be discussing only a few which are widely used by organizations and individuals around the world and we will be vividly discussing these features in depth and these service are compute containers databases identity security networking and storage now let's start with the first one that is compute asure compute is a service that

4:49 allows you to run cloud-based applications on demand this CPUs memory networking and operating systems are among the Computing resources IT supplies and the resources are on demand and can be accessed in minutes or even seconds you only pay for what you use and for how long you use it aure offers a variety of computing solutions for development and testing application deployment and data center expansion Linux Windows Server SQL Server orle IBM and sap are all supported by the server the following are some of the most well-known Services Azure virtual

5:34 machines virtual machine skill sets Azure container instances Azure app service and Azure functions are also serverless Computing now let's discuss each of this one by one first is azure virtual machines virtual machines are software-based computer simulations a virtual processor memory storage and networking resources are among the resources available virtual machines or VMS run on operating system and allow you to install and run software much like a regular computer you can use and operate the virtual machine as if you were sitting in front of it by utilizing a remote desktop

6:22 client as for virtual machines allow you to construct and operate virtual machines in the cloud infrastructure as a service is provided through virtual machines and they can be used in a variety of ways virtual machines are an excellent solution when you need complete control over an operating system and its surroundings all of the software running on the VM can be customized just as on a real machine also when you're running custom software or hosting Arrangements this capability comes in handy now coming on to the next one that is virtual machine scale sets scale sets

7:08 are an Asher computer resource that may be used to deploy and manage a group of identical virtual machines virtual machine scill sets are meant to provide real Auto scale when all VMS are set up the same virtual machines do not need to be pre-provisioned as a result developing large scale services for big Computing big data and containerized workloads is easy more VM instances can be added as demand grows VM instances can be withdrawn when demand decreases the procedure might be human automated or a hybrid of the two now moving on to the next one that is azure container

7:54 instances container instances are Azure compute resources for managing and deploying container ERS containers are virtualized application environments that are lightweight they're buil to be dynamically formed scaled and stop on a single host machine you can run many instances of a containerized application then comes Azure app Services you can create deploy and scale Enterprise grade web mobile and API apps on any platform with Azure app services while employing a fully managed platform to handle infrastructure maintenance you can meet stringent performance scalability security and compliance

8:40 requirements a platform as a service solution is app service and following that we have as job functions when you simply care about the code that runs your service and not the underlying platform or infrastructure functions are great they're frequently used when you need to respond to an event typically via R request a timer or a message from another Azure service and the job can be accomplished rapidly in seconds or less now that we have completed all the services offered by compute let's proceed to the next one that is containers containers are a type of virtualization system you can run

9:27 several containers on a single phys physical or virtual host in the same way that you can run numerous virtual machines on a single physical host unlike virtual machines you don't have control over a container's operating system containers are lightweight and designed to be built scaled out and stopped dynamically whereas virtual machines appear to be instance of an operating system that you can connect to an administer containers are built to help you to react to changes on the go containers allow you to swiftly resume in the event of a crash of Hardware failure Docker is one of the most popular container engines and Azure supports it containers offer these

10:14 particular service container instances aure container services and container registry container instances are the quickest and easiest method to operate a container in the ashure without needing to manage virtual machines or use any extra Services it's a pass service that lets you upload your containers and have them run for you moving on to the next one are Asha container services Asha container services or Asha kubernetes Services allows users to manage deploy and control operations of kubernetes

10:59 container orchestration is a term used to describe the process of automating managing and interacting with a large number of containers a your kubernetes service is a comprehensive container orchestration service for distributed architectures and high volumes of containers and then comes container registry a container registry is used to ease container development by easing store storage and management of container images now that we have covered containers and their services offered let's move on to the next Asher service that is databases Asher database is a fully

11:46 managed platform as a service database engine that automates the majority of database management tasks such as updating patching backups and monitoring my Microsoft has released a manage instance aimed at on premises clients so if we have any SQL databases on premises that we want to migrate to Azure without any complex configuration or ambiguity we can use manage instances the most prominent Services Under database service are as your Cosmos DB as your SQL database and asure postre SQL now coming to the Azure Cosmos DB

12:32 Azure Cosmos DB is a multimodel globally distributed database service you may increase throughput and storage across any number of aure locations around the world in an elastic and independent man you can use any way of several common apis to get single digigit millisecond data access throughput latency availability and consistency assurances are all covered by asure Cosmos DB service level agreements now Azure Cosmos DB enables schema less data allowing you to create extremely responsive and always on apps that can handle constantly changing data this functionality can be used to store data that has been updated and

13:18 maintained by users all around the world the next comes aure SQL database aure SQL database is is a relational database based on the Microsoft SQL Server database engines most recent stable version SQL database is a fast dependable well-managed and secure database you may use it to create data driven applications and websites in your preferred programming language without having to worry about infrastructure so SQL databases pass capabilities allows you to concentrate on the domain specific database Administration and optimization task that are vital to your

14:04 business SQL database is a fully managed service with high availability backups and other typical maintenance features built in Microsoft is in charge of SQL and operating system code changes you don't have to worry about the infrastructure coming to the next one the aure post three SQL now aure database posty SQL is a cloud-based relational database solution the server software is based on the open- source posty SQL database engines Community when you use Asha database for a postc SQL your experience with tools and knowledge comes in handy more

14:50 however it has various benefits like in comparison to on premisis resources there is built in high availability to ensure that your apps are always online no additional configuration replication or cost is necessary pricing is straightforward and adaptable you can expect consistent performance thanks to a pricing TR tire that includes software patching automatic backups monitoring and security within seconds scale up or down as needed to ensure that your service adapts to usage you can draw computation and storage independently as needed automatic backups can be customized and restored to a specific

15:36 point in time for up to 35 days and Enterprise level security to safeguard sensitive data and Transit and at rest this production includes data encryption on disk as well as SSL encryption for Cent server communication now we have covered one more crucial service offered by azure now let's move ahead and explore another service that is security and identity these two services are integrated so we will be discussing them together identity management in specific is a process of authenticating first and then authorizing using security

16:21 principles and it involves controlling information about those principal identities it provides these important Services Azure security Center Key and very important aspect of azure service that is azure active directory Azure security Center first Azure security Center is a collection of tools for monitoring and managing the security of virtual machines and other cloud computing resources in Microsoft's public Cloud the Azure security Center is access through the ashure management interface by administrators they may find a number of security tools in the security Center to

17:07 help them prevent identify and respond to possible security risk to the aure deployment to use the security Center organizations must have an aure subscription next is ashure keyal ashure keyal is a cloud ser Serv for storing and accessing secrets in a secure manner anything you want to restrict access to such as API Keys passwords certificates or cryptographic Keys is a secret Vols a manage and Hardware security module pools are two types of containers supported by the key service software as well as HSM backed

18:39 online business such as Microsoft 365 and Azure if you sign up for any Microsoft online businesses you'll be given access to ashr ad which includes all of the free services now we covered one more as your service let's move on to the next service which is networking now Azure provides the scalability performance High availability and Enterprise grade security you need to satisfy your most extreme workloads requirements with more than 1 lakh 65,000 M of private fibers across 60 plus regions and 170 Plus network poops around the world customers will have consistent low

19:26 latency experience thanks to service and integrate smoothly across on premises multicloud and Edge locations so when you use as your networking Network as a service you can concentrate on delivering your application logic Network Watcher Express root monitor ashure monitor or vnet terminal access point are all asure networking services that can be used to monitor your network resources so the first one we will talk about are virtual Network asual virtual networks allow aure services such as virtual machines

20:14 web apps and databases to connect with one another with internet users and with on promises client computers an Asher network is a collection of resources that connects other Asher resources isolation and segment ation internet communications communicate among asual resources communicating with on promises resources route Network traffic filter Network traffic and connect virtual networks are some of the code networking features provided by Asha virtual networks next we will talk about VPN Gateway a virtual Network Gateway or VPN

20:59 Gateway is a form of the virtual Network Gateway as your instances are install an Azure virtual Network instances and provide connectivity for services such as a sight tosite connection connects on premisis data centers to Virtual networks a PO to site link connects individual devices to Virtual networks and a network to network connection connects virtual networks to other virtual Network works so now moving on in Express rout with the support of a connectivity provider express route allows you to expand your on promises networks into the Microsoft cloud over a private

21:45 connection you can connect to Microsoft cloud services such as Microsoft Azure and Microsoft 365 using express route and any to any ipvpn network a point too ethernet Network or a virtual cross connection through a connectivity provider at a collocation facility can all be used for connectivity so Express root connections are not made through a public network as a result Express root connections provide more reliability quicker speeds constant latencies and higher security than traditional internet connections now we have reached the last service

22:30 offered by Asher that we will discuss storage Microsoft aure storage platform is a cloud storage technology designed for current data storage scenarios a massive scalable object stored for data object desk storage for Asher virtual machines a file system service for the cloud a messaging store for Reliable Communications and a nosql store at all available through core storage Services the services offered by are as your blob storage as your table storage as your Q storage and aszure file storage so the first one is azure blob

23:17 storage blob storage is a Microsoft Azure service for storing binary big objects made up of unstructured material like text photos and videos and as well as Associated metadata blob storage objects can be accessed through HTTP or https from anywhere in the globe by users or clients applications blob storage objects can be accessed using the Azure storage rest API Azure power cell and Azure CLI or a client library for Azure storage coming to the next one is azure table storage large volume voles of structured data are stored in Azure table storage

24:03 the service is a nosql data store that takes request from both inside and outside the Azure Cloud now Azure tables are great for storing non- relational structured data table storage can be used to store and query large amount of structured non- relational data and it will scale as demand grows moving on to the next one that is as aure Q storage aure Q storage is a service that allows you to store massive amounts of data authenticated HTTP or https call allow you access the messages from anywhere in the world a q message can have a maximum size of 64 KB a q can

24:49 hold millions of messages up to the storage of account's overall capacity limit cues are widely used to build a backlog of work for asynchronous processing now coming to the last one is azure file storage Azure files provides fully managed cloud files that can be accessed via the industry standard server message blog or network file system protocols cloud and on premisis deployments can both Mount as your files file shares at the same time Windows Linux and Mac OS clients can access SMB Azure file shares clients running Linux or Mac OS can access NFS Azure file

25:36 shares additionally using aure file synchronization SMB Azure file shares can be cached on Windows servers for Rapid access near where the data is used so now that we have covered all of the important services offered by AAR and the functionality let's dive deeper into the into the concept and look into how Azure is better than other Cloud platforms so first is Microsoft Azure PASS gives developers the environment tools and building blocks they need to create and deploy new cloud services quickly it also provides the critical devops linkages required for monitoring

26:24 maintaining and fine-tuning such apps m roft handles much of the infrastructure management behind the scenes with Azure pass as a result Azure deployment allows for a singular emphasis on Innovations second is the compatibility of aure with one of the most beneficial feature of asure and that is the net programming language which gives Microsoft a significant advantage over AWS and the rest of the competition aure was designed and tuned to work seamlessly with both old and new apps built on the platform framework for net

27:09 programming now aure was built using the security development cite which is a leading Assurance process in the industry it has security at its core ensuring that private data and services are kept secure and protected while on Azure cloud fourth is on ASO hybrid apps like can be created that take advantage of resources in data centers at the service providers end or within aure itself to increase usability and speed Asha now offers a greater selection of hybrid connections such as virtual private networks caches content delivery networks and express

27:54 rout connections fifth is if a company already utilizes Microsoft software it is likely to be covered by Microsoft Enterprise agreement it is eligible to discounts on Microsoft software because Microsoft frequently modifies their agreements to reduce Azure pricing as a result of the Enterprise agreement businesses can often get large discounts for adopting Azure let's have a quick demo for Azure services for the better understanding so in this demo we will first create our Resource Group and an SQL database for it and a server also so first you need to log in in your

28:42 Microsoft as your account and then click here and go to Resource groups click on create button so for subscription we will have a free trial option and uh give it a name according to our requirement like for now I'm giving it uh as your demo simply and the region according to your uh area like where you want to deploy your apps where you that you will be publishing here and click on review plus create here you will get all the
