Azure cloud compute
Azure cloud compute services include Azure VMs, Azure containers, and Azure serverless.
Azure cloud VMs
Azure cloud VMs are very much like AWS EC2 VMs. To provision a VM instance in the cloud, we need to specify the software (OS and apps) and hardware (CPU, RAM, HD, and so on). While the software categories are very much the same for different cloud platforms, the hardware categories (such as VM types) are named quite differently. Table 12.1 lists the current VM types for the three cloud platforms: AWS EC2, GCP GCE, and Azure VM:
