    Azure Cloud Services are now depricated and will be retired in 2024, see here . If you are building something new you should look at other services.

    Hello, @Megha S Patil !

    @Sam Cogan is correct that Azure Cloud Services (classic) will retire on August 31st, 2024 so I thought it would be useful to provide some additional information as well as next steps as you look at developing your solution with Azure.

    What are some practical examples for Azure Cloud Services (classic)?
    The example .NET Cloud Service creates an advertising bulletin board using a web role on the front-end to upload images that are stored in an Azure blob, stores ad information in a database, writes messages to a queue, and uses a worker role in the back-end.

    A current example in the Azure architecture guide has a similar setup with a web front-end, a queue, a worker, a database, and static content. This time, these roles are filled by Azure services such as Azure Web Apps, Azure Functions, Azure SQL and Azure Cosmos DB, and Azure Blob Storage.

    A similar, more recent example application using Azure Web Apps, Azure Functions, and other Azure services:

    Next Steps
    As Azure has grown, new services have been added offering even more choices when it comes to how you want to implement your solution. It's worth your time to take a quick look at the complete list of Azure services as well as architectural guides for implementing Azure solutions.

    Virtual machines, Azure Container Instances, and Azure Kubernetes Service are examples of services that tend to give you more control over your solution while App Service and Azure Functions can get you up and running quickly.

    I hope this has been helpful!
