In this chapter, we covered the virtual machine objective. We covered the different sizes and series that are available from Azure. We also covered Availability Sets, fault and update domains, and how to create them. We also covered Managed Disks and we showed you how to create highly available VMs. We've talked about VM Scale Sets and when to use them, and finally we covered backup and recovery for your virtual machines.
The next chapter will cover compute-intensive applications using Azure services and Azure Batch.
