Azure Features

Virtual Machines (VMs)
Azure provides a virtual machine service that allows you to create and deploy virtual machines in the cloud. VMs can be used to run applications, test software, or host websites. Azure VMs can be configured to meet specific requirements such as CPU, RAM, and storage capacity. Azure VMs can also be created with pre-configured images that include Windows Server, Linux, or other operating systems.

Storage
Azure provides a wide range of storage services that can be used to store and manage data in the cloud. Azure storage services include blob storage, file storage, table storage, and queue storage. Blob storage can be used to store unstructured data such as images, videos, and audio files. File storage provides a managed file share for enterprise applications. Table storage provides a NoSQL key-value store for storing structured data, and queue storage provides messaging services that can be used to communicate between applications.

App Services
Azure App Services provide a platform for building, deploying, and managing web applications in the cloud. Azure App Services can be used to create web applications using .NET, Java, Node.js, PHP, Python, and Ruby. Azure App Services also provide integration with other Azure services such as Azure SQL Database, Azure Cosmos DB, and Azure Functions.

Functions
Azure Functions provide a serverless compute service that allows you to run code in response to events. Azure Functions can be used to create event-driven applications and microservices that can scale automatically based on demand. Azure Functions can be written in C#, Java, JavaScript, PowerShell, or Python.

Active Directory
Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) is a cloud-based identity and access management service. Azure AD provides a single sign-on (SSO) experience for cloud-based applications and services. Azure AD can be used to manage access to Azure resources and integrate with other identity providers such as Microsoft Active Directory, LDAP, and OAuth.
