Azure IaaS (Infrastructure as a Service) is a cloud computing model that allows businesses to provision and manage virtual machines, storage, and networking infrastructure in the cloud. Here are some examples of Azure IaaS:
- Virtual Machines: Azure IaaS provides a range of virtual machine (VM) options that allow businesses to run a wide range of workloads in the cloud. These VMs can run Windows or Linux operating systems and can be customized with a range of hardware configurations and sizes.
- Storage: Azure IaaS provides a range of storage options such as Azure Blob Storage, Azure File Storage, and Azure Disk Storage. These services allow businesses to store and manage large amounts of data in the cloud.
- Networking: Azure IaaS provides a range of networking services such as Virtual Network (VNet), Load Balancer, and Virtual Private Network (VPN). These services allow businesses to create secure and scalable network infrastructures in the cloud.
- Disaster Recovery: Azure IaaS provides tools such as Azure Site Recovery that allow businesses to replicate their on-premises workloads to Azure for disaster recovery purposes.
- High-Performance Computing (HPC): Azure IaaS provides a range of HPC services such as Azure Batch, Azure CycleCloud, and Azure HPC Cache. These services allow businesses to run high-performance computing workloads in the cloud.
- Hybrid Cloud: Azure IaaS provides tools such as Azure Arc that allow businesses to manage and govern resources across on-premises, multi-cloud, and edge environments from a single control plane.
Azure IaaS provides businesses with the flexibility and scalability to manage their infrastructure needs in the cloud. Azure IaaS can be used to run a wide range of workloads, from simple web applications to complex HPC workloads.
