Microsoft Azure Fundamentals: Describe cloud concepts

Question

High availability, Pay-as-you-go, Public cloud

💡 Explanation:

High availability is essential for global logistics to avoid downtime across time zones.

Pay-as-you-go aligns with the company’s goal of avoiding heavy upfront (CapEx) costs and paying only for resources they use (OpEx model).

Public cloud allows them to leverage Azure’s global data centers (including EU regions for data residency), and it supports rapid scaling and availability zones for resilience.

Hi Madhu Sudhan Reddy Kottapu,

Thank you for reaching out to Microsoft Q & A forum. 

The Microsoft Azure Fundamentals: Describe cloud concepts learning path covers all the key points you mentioned High availability, Pay-as-you-go, and the public cloud model. Here's how each topic is addressed: 

1.High Availability is explained in Module 2: Describe the benefits of using cloud services, where Azure’s ability to ensure service uptime and scale globally across regions is discussed. 

2.Pay-as-you-go is covered in Module 1: Describe cloud computing, specifically in the unit on the consumption-based model. It outlines how Azure allows businesses to avoid upfront capital costs by paying only for the resources they use. 

3.Public Cloud is introduced in Module 1, under the unit "Define cloud models." It explains how the public cloud enables global scalability, data residency options (such as EU regions), and shared infrastructure managed by Azure. 

This learning path provides a clear foundation for understanding how Azure supports cost-effective, scalable, and resilient cloud solutions.
