Azure resources refer to the different components that can be created and managed within the Azure environment. These resources can include virtual machines, databases, storage accounts, virtual networks, and more.
Each Azure resource has its own unique ID and can be created, updated, and deleted independently. They are also billed separately based on usage.
Here are some examples of commonly used Azure resources:
- Virtual machines (VMs): Azure VMs are used to create and manage virtual machines in the cloud. These VMs can run Windows or Linux and can be used for a variety of purposes such as web hosting, data processing, and application development.
- Azure SQL Database: Azure SQL Database is a fully managed relational database service that is built on SQL Server. It provides features such as automatic patching and backups, high availability, and built-in security.
- Storage accounts: Azure storage accounts are used to store and manage data in the cloud. They support various data types such as blobs, files, queues, and tables.
- Virtual networks: Azure virtual networks are used to create and manage virtual private networks (VPNs) in the cloud. They allow users to connect resources such as VMs and databases securely.
- Azure App Service: Azure App Service is a fully managed platform for building and deploying web and mobile applications. It supports various programming languages such as .NET, Java, Node.js, and PHP.
- Azure Functions: Azure Functions is a serverless computing service that allows users to run code in response to events such as HTTP requests or data changes. It supports various programming languages and can be used to create event-driven applications.
These are just a few examples of the many Azure resources that are available. Each resource has its own specific use case and can be combined with other resources to create complex cloud environments.
