Azure compute services

Compute services are one of the core building block services we will be looking at in this chapter. The term compute can be described simply as a platform to execute code on; it's what runs your software and processes your data.

You must understand the following compute services since they are outlined in the exam's Skills Measured section; that is, Describe Core Azure Services:

VM: A software version of a physical computer
Azure App Service: A Microsoft-managed application hosting service
ACI: A Microsoft-managed container hosting service
AKS: A Microsoft-managed container orchestration service
Virtual Desktop: A Microsoft-managed desktop and app virtualization service

This section introduced the available Azure compute services that can be used to build a solution. In the next section, we will look at the VM compute service.
