What is Cloud Computing

• Simply put, cloud computing is the delivery of computing services—including servers, storage, databases,
networking, software, analytics, and intelligence—over the Internet (“the cloud”) to offer faster innovation, flexible
resources, and economies of scale. You typically pay only for cloud services you use, helping you lower your
operating costs, run your infrastructure more efficiently, and scale as your business needs change.

• On-premise
• You own the servers, hire IT staff, you pay or rent real-estate and you administrate services and take all the risks
• Cloud Providers
• Someone else owns the servers, they hire IT staff, they pay or rent real-estate, they administrate services, and
you are only responsible for configuring your cloud services and code

Azure Portal
The Azure portal is a web based, unified console that provides an alternative to command line tools.
You can manage your Azure subscription with the Azure portal. Build, manage, and monitor everything
from simple web apps to complex cloud deployments.
 Azure portal menu

You can choose the default mode for the portal If you choose docked mode for the portal menu,
menu. It can be docked or it can act as a flyout it will always be visible. You can collapse the
panel. menu to provide more working space.
When the portal menu is in flyout mode, it's hidden
until you need it. Select the menu icon to open or
close the menu.
Azure Home

As a new subscriber to Azure services, the first

thing you see after you sign in to the
portal is Azure Home.

You can’t customize this page, but you can

choose whether to see Azure Home or Azure
Dashboard as your default view. The first time
you sign in, there’s a prompt at the top of the
page where you can save your preference.
