You can choose from these services to scale your existing applications or develop new ones. Apart from these Azure features and services, there are different types of Azure compute models, each with individual responsibilities. You can either use these models in isolation or combine them to get the desired results from your application.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remember that if you require similar performance from a physical infrastructure, then it will demand huge capital investment, physical space, resources, etc. Microsoft Azure can offer you virtual machines for faster processing of data along with monitoring and analytical tools to make the operations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this <\/span><b>Microsoft Azure tutorial,<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> let us briefly touch upon its history. Microsoft released Windows Azure in October 2008, but it finally went live in February 2010. In 2014, it was renamed to Microsoft Azure, hosting services like SQL services, .NET services, and several other Live Services. The two most notable releases of Microsoft Azure are Microsoft Azure V1 and Microsoft Azure V2. While the Azure V1 is JSON script-driven, the Azure V2 has a better interactive interface for smoother user experience.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Benefits_of_Microsoft_Azure\"><\/span><b>Benefits of Microsoft Azure<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now we will move forward in this <\/span><b>Microsoft Azure tutorial<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to discuss the benefits of Azure for business.

Available with code AZ-900, Microsoft Azure Fundamentals offers a comprehensive knowledge about all the services and features of Microsoft Azure. It is one of the basic certifications that the candidates must have if they are new to Microsoft Azure. However, it is not mandatory to have a certification, and all aspirants should focus upon creating their strong foundation and developing a learning path.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All those who are interested in continuing a career as Azure Administrators should take the AZ-104 exam. On similar lines, if you want to pursue a career as an Azure solutions developer, then you will have to get the certification through <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whizlabs.com\/microsoft-azure-certification-az-204\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">AZ 204<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In this <\/span><b>Microsoft Azure tutorial, <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">we will now focus on the AZ-400 certification that deals with the Microsoft Azure DevOps Engineer experts. The next important certification has to be of the Azure Solutions Architect experts, with the code name AZ-305 (earlier named as &#8220;AZ-303 and AZ-304&#8221;). After qualifying these two certification examinations, you can earn credibility as a certified Azure solutions architect.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once a candidate has cleared the AZ-500 certification exam, their skills as Azure Security Engineer are validated.
