Essential Cloud Compute Concepts
What is Azure compute?
Cloud compute is an on-demand computing service for running cloud-based

applications. It provides computing resources like multi-core processors and
supercomputers via virtual machines and containers. It also provides serverless
computing to run apps without requiring infrastructure setup or configuration. The
resources are available on-demand and can typically be created in minutes or even
seconds. You pay only for the resources you use and only for as long as you're using
them.
There are four common techniques for performing compute in Azure:
• Virtual machines
• Containers
• Azure App Service
• Serverless computing
What are virtual machines?
Virtual machines, or VMs, are software emulations of physical computers. They include
a virtual processor, memory, storage, and networking resources. They host an operating
system (OS), and you're able to install and run software just like a physical computer.
And by using a remote desktop client, you can use and control the virtual machine as if
you were sitting in front of it.
What are containers?
Containers are a virtualization environment for running applications. Just like virtual
machines, containers run on top of a host operating system. But unlike VMs, containers
don't include an operating system for the apps running inside the container. Instead,

containers bundle the libraries and components needed to run the application and use
the existing host OS running the container. For example, if five containers are running
on a server with a specific Linux kernel, all five containers and the apps within them
share that same Linux kernel.
What is Azure App Service?
Azure App Service is a platform-as-a-service (PaaS) offering in Azure that is designed to

host enterprise-grade web-oriented applications. You can meet rigorous performance,
scalability, security, and compliance requirements while using a fully managed platform
to perform infrastructure maintenance.
What is Serverless Computing?
Serverless computing is a cloud-hosted execution environment that runs your code but
completely abstracts the underlying hosting environment. You create an instance of the
service, and you add your code; no infrastructure configuration or maintenance is
required, or even allowed.
Explore Containers
If you wish to run multiple instances of an application on a single host machine,
containers are an excellent choice. The container orchestrator can start, stop, and scale
out application instances as needed.
A container is a modified runtime environment built on top of a host OS that executes

your application. A container doesn't use virtualization, so it doesn't waste resources
simulating virtual hardware with a redundant OS. This environment typically makes
containers more lightweight than VMs. This design allows you to respond quickly to
changes in demand or failure. Another benefit of containers is you can run multiple
isolated applications on a single container host. Since containers are secured and
isolated, you don't need separate servers for each app.

Explore Serverless Computing

Serverless computing is the abstraction of servers, infrastructure, and OSs.
With serverless computing, Azure takes care of managing the server infrastructure and
allocation/deallocation of resources based on demand. Infrastructure isn't your responsibility.
Scaling and performance are handled automatically, and you are billed only for the exact
resources you use. There's no need to even reserve capacity.
Serverless computing encompasses three ideas: the abstraction of servers, an event-

driven scale, and micro-billing:
1. Abstraction of servers: Serverless computing abstracts the servers you run on.
You never explicitly reserve server instances; the platform manages that for you.
Each function execution can run on a different compute instance, and this
execution context is transparent to the code. With serverless architecture, you
simply deploy your code, which then runs with high availability.
2. Event-driven scale: Serverless computing is an excellent fit for workloads that
respond to incoming events. Events include triggers by timers (for example, if a
function needs to run every day at 10:00 AM UTC), HTTP (API and webhook
scenarios), queues (for example, with order processing), and much more. Instead of
writing an entire application, the developer authors a function, which contains
both code and metadata about its triggers and bindings. The platform
automatically schedules the function to run and scales the number of compute
instances based on the rate of incoming events. Triggers define how a function is
invoked and bindings provide a declarative way to connect to services from within
the code.
3. Micro-billing: Traditional computing has the notion of per-second billing, but
often, that's not as useful as it seems. Even if a customer's website gets only one
hit a day, they still pay for a full day's worth of availability. With serverless
computing, they pay only for the time their code runs. If no active function
executions occur, they're not charged. For example, if the code runs once a day for
two minutes, they're charged for one execution and two minutes of computing
time.
