Traditional AD is for on-premises Windows domain environments. Azure AD is a cloud-based identity service for managing SaaS, Azure, and Microsoft 365 access. It supports OAuth and modern authentication protocols.
A Resource Group is a logical container that holds related Azure resources such as VMs, databases, and storage accounts. It helps manage lifecycle, permissions, and monitoring as a single unit.
Azure Virtual Machines allow you to deploy Windows or Linux instances in the cloud. They support scaling, snapshots, and integration with networking and storage.
Azure Blob Storage is used for large-scale object storage. It supports storing text, images, videos, and backup files for web and analytics workloads.
Azure provides Blob, File, Queue, and Table storage options. There is no service called 'Stack' in Azure’s storage offerings.
Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) manages user authentication and permissions across Microsoft cloud services. It supports single sign-on, MFA, and integration with on-prem directories.
Azure App Service is a fully managed PaaS offering to host web and mobile apps. It automatically handles scaling, load balancing, and security patches.
Azure Regions represent physical areas containing multiple data centers. They help achieve redundancy, data residency, and compliance across geographies.
In the Pay-as-you-go model, you pay only for the compute and storage resources you use. It’s flexible and ideal for variable or experimental workloads.
VM Scale Sets allow you to deploy and manage a group of identical VMs. They automatically increase or decrease the number of instances based on CPU load or demand, ensuring high availability and scalability.
Azure Functions is a serverless compute service that runs event-driven code without managing infrastructure. Use it for background jobs, file uploads, scheduled tasks, or API event handling.
Resource Locks prevent accidental modification or deletion of critical Azure resources. Two types exist — CanNotDelete (protects deletion) and ReadOnly (prevents changes).
An ARM template is a JSON file that defines Azure infrastructure in code. It enables consistent deployments, version control, and automation using Infrastructure-as-Code principles.
