If you wanted to simply use Azure as an extension of your own datacenter, not primarily hosting anything there but using it for extra storage or taking advantage of some services, what hosting model is that called?

Hybrid Cloud

Who is responsible for the security of your Azure Storage account access keys?

I am responsible for securing access keys

A virtual machine is called what type of hosting model?

IaaS

What are cloud service models?

IaaS,PaaS,SaaS

Azure Firewall

Implements high-security, high-availability firewall with unlimited scalability.

SaaS

In this cloud service model, the cloud provider manages all aspects of the application environment, such as virtual machines, networking resources, data storage, and applications. The cloud tenant only needs to provide their data to the application managed by the cloud provider. For example, Office 365 provides a fully working version of Office that runs in the cloud. All that you need to do is create your content, and Office 365 takes care of everything else.

Azure Databricks

Integrate this collaborative Apache Spark-based analytics service with other big data services in Azure.

Azure Blob storage

Storage service for very large objects, such as video files or bitmaps.

Azure Table storage

Table storage is a service that stores non-relational structured data (also known as structured NoSQL data) in the cloud, providing a key/attribute store with a schemaless design..

What is a benefit of economies of scale?

The more you buy, the cheaper it is.

PaaS

This cloud service model is a managed hosting environment. The cloud provider manages the virtual machines and networking resources, and the cloud tenant deploys their applications into the managed hosting environment. For example, Azure App Services provides a managed hosting environment where developers can upload their web applications without having to deal with the physical hardware and software requirements.

IaaS

This cloud service model is the closest to managing physical servers. A cloud provider keeps the hardware up to date, but operating system maintenance and network configuration is left to the cloud tenant. For example, Azure virtual machines are fully operational virtual compute devices running in Microsoft's datacenters. An advantage of this cloud service model is rapid deployment of new compute devices. Setting up a new virtual machine is considerably faster than procuring, installing, and configuring a physical server.

Hybrid cloud

This computing environment combines a public cloud and a private cloud by allowing data and applications to be shared between them.

Azure DevOps

Use development collaboration tools such as high-performance pipelines, free private Git repositories, configurable Kanban boards, and extensive automated and cloud-based load testing. Formerly known as Visual Studio Team Services.

Vision

Use image-processing algorithms to smartly identify, caption, index, and moderate your pictures and videos.

Application Gateway contains what additional optional security feature over a regular Load Balancer?

Web Application firewall

Azure Virtual Machines

Windows or Linux virtual machines (VMs) hosted in Azure.

What is serverless computing?

With serverless applications, the cloud service provider automatically provisions, scales, and manages the infrastructure required to run the code. Serverless architectures are highly scalable and event-driven. They use resources only when a specific function or trigger occurs.

What makes estimating the cost of an unmanaged storage account difficult?

You are charged data leaving Azure, and its difficult to predict this.

What are public, private, and hybrid clouds?

here are three deployment models for cloud computing: public cloud, private cloud, and hybrid cloud.

How do you get access to services in Private Preview mode?

you must apply to use them
