Clouds Infrastructure Administration

Microsoft Azure is a cloud computing platform and infrastructure provided by Microsoft for building, testing, deploying, and managing applications and services through Microsoft-managed data centers. It provides computing, networking, storage and database services. Azure allows for hybrid cloud operations and integration between on-premises IT environments and Azure. Microsoft leads in many Gartner Magic Quadrants for cloud technologies and services and has the largest global network of data centers of any cloud provider.

This document discusses cloud storage, including its history, definition, advantages, disadvantages, and major cloud service providers. Cloud storage allows users to store and access their files from any device with an internet connection. It offers benefits like universal access, easier collaboration, increased reliability, and lower costs compared to traditional storage methods. However, it also has disadvantages like requiring an internet connection and potential security and data loss issues. Popular cloud service providers mentioned include Dropbox, Google Drive, iCloud, and Mozy, each offering various amounts of free storage and features.

Intended for non technical executives, this is a high level description of what cloud computing is and how to think about it in a business context.

Cloud computing involves linking many computers together over the internet to form a large virtual computer. It provides access to computer resources and services via the internet rather than hardware and software locally installed. There are three main categories of cloud computing: Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) provides virtual servers and storage; Platform as a Service (PaaS) provides development environments; and Software as a Service (SaaS) provides access to apps already in the cloud. While cloud computing offers benefits like flexibility and cost savings, it also presents disadvantages such as security risks and lack of control.

This document provides an overview of Microsoft Azure training content including Azure Fundamentals, Storage, Webapps, Cloud Services, Virtual Machines, Media Services, and Active Directory. It describes key cloud computing concepts like IAAS, PAAS, and SAAS and compares traditional computing to cloud computing. It also summarizes several Azure services like Webapps, Storage, Cloud Services, Virtual Machines, Media Services, Azure Search, and Active Directory.

Microsoft delivers more value than the competition and hence it is a best option for your data. Know more.

The document discusses key concepts related to cloud computing, consumerization, and collaboration. It defines the cloud as delivering IT as a service using pooled, elastic resources. Consumerization refers to new technologies emerging first in consumer markets and spreading to businesses. Collaboration technologies facilitate linking humans to work together using tools like email, messaging, and social media. The document outlines various cloud services and delivery models, challenges of consumerization like BYOD, and ensuring collaboration works across devices and services.

First presentation I did about Microsoft Azure. Presented it for the Microsoft Student Champs meeting on 2011 November. Microsoft Azure was known as Windows Azure during that time.

Microsoft Azure is a cloud computing platform that allows users to quickly build, deploy, and manage applications across Microsoft's global network of datacenters. It provides compute services like virtual machines and websites, network services like virtual networks and traffic management, data services for storage, management and analytics, and application services for user identity, messaging, media, and more. Key features include flexibility, openness, security, high availability, and scalability.

Microsoft Azure is a cloud computing platform that allows users to build, deploy, and manage applications and services through Microsoft-managed data centers. It offers several compute, network, data, and app services to develop applications using any programming language or tool. Key services include virtual machines, web apps, mobile backends, SQL databases, HDInsight Hadoop, caching, backup, and media/messaging capabilities. Azure provides global scale and high availability at a lower cost than traditional infrastructure through a pay-as-you-go model where users only pay for the resources they consume.

Cloud computing allows users to access files and applications over the internet from any device. There are two models of cloud computing - deployment models which define access types like public, private, hybrid and community clouds, and service models which are infrastructure as a service (IaaS), platform as a service (PaaS), and software as a service (SaaS). IaaS provides on-demand access to servers, storage, networking and operating systems, PaaS provides platforms for developers to create and deploy applications, and SaaS provides access to applications over the internet.

The document discusses the role of cloud engineers. It defines cloud computing and outlines its benefits including scalability, flexibility, and cost savings. A cloud engineer is responsible for designing, maintaining, and deploying cloud infrastructure and applications. Their roles include cloud architect, developer, and systems operations engineer. The top cloud computing certifications are provided by Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform. Cloud engineering offers a high pay scale and market reach.

This presentation highlights why customers should care about the looming deadline for Windows Server 2003 End of Support and how you can help your customer migrate their infrastructure to cloud or to a hybrid environment. It also discusses the design considerations for various upgrade scenarios from pure cloud to hybrid to on-premise. Finally, it reviews migration tools and technologies to migrate a 32-bit application to Windows Server 2012 or Azure environment. It also shows Azure’s unique value proposition to your customers and some of the new announcement such as ASR, EMS and RemoteApp. It will describe product features that is relevant to SMB customer segment along with sizing information based on Azure calculator. Finally it will also touch upon when to think about using Azure or to your own hosted environment.
