Cloud computing platforms and applications are currently expanding quickly across the economy as the IT backbone of new online firms. In actuality, the cloud houses at least a portion of the computing infrastructure that companies employ today. Despite the existence of additional platforms, the market is dominated by two cloud computing platforms. The two heavyweights of cloud computing, according to our Azure training in Bangalore, are Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Microsoft Azure.

Cloud computing: what is it?

One method that makes many computer resources available online is cloud computing. Simply connect to your cloud service provider via the internet using a computer or mobile device. Once connected, a variety of computational resources are accessible, such as storage, virtual machines, serverless computing, and more. In essence, cloud service providers manage massive data centers that include hundreds of PCs, storage devices, and other components needed by different types of businesses. These data centers store enormous amounts of data and are situated in safe areas.

How does Azure work and what are the many services it offers?
