What is Azure?

Microsoft Azure is a cloud computing service created by Microsoft for building, testing, deploying, and managing applications and services through a global network of Microsoft-managed data centers.It provides software as a service (SaaS), platform as a service (PaaS) and infrastructure as a service (IaaS) and supports many different programming languages, tools and frameworks, including both Microsoft-specific and third-party software and systems.

The Microsoft Azure training course teaches System administrators/ developers/DevOps team to build and deploy applications on Microsoft’s Cloud Computing platform. The training course is designed to provide a comprehensive overview on using the management portal of Windows Azure and its features. Primary goal behind this training is to teach students how to use various services provided by Windows Azure.
