Icon Service Description
Azure AI Services Icon Azure AI Services Azure AI Services are a collection of cloud-based services that allow you to add AI based capabilities to your application. Examples include Azure OpenAI, Azure Vision, Azure Speech, Azure Language, and Azure Translator.
App Service Icon Azure App Service Azure App Service is a fully managed platform for hosting web applications and APIs in Azure. It features automatic load balancing and auto-scaling in a highly available environment. You pay only for the compute resources you use and free tiers are available.
Container Apps Icon Azure Container Apps Azure Container Apps are fully managed environments that enable you to run microservices and containerized applications on a serverless platform. Applications built on Container Apps provide scalability, resiliency, and other advantages of complex container orchestrators while leaving behind many of the complexities.
Azure Functions Icon Azure Functions Azure Functions is a serverless compute service that lets you write small, discrete segments of code that can be executed in a scalable and cost-effective manner, all without managing any servers or runtimes. Functions can be invoked by a variety of different events and easily integrate with other Azure services through the use of input and output bindings.
Azure SQL Icon Azure SQL Azure SQL is a fully managed cloud based version of SQL Server. Azure automatically performs traditional administrative tasks like patching and backups for you and features built-in high availability.
Cosmos DB Icon Azure Cosmos DB Azure Cosmos DB is a fully managed NoSQL database with single digit response times, automatic scaling, and a MongoDB compatible API.
Azure Storage Blobs Icon Azure Blob Storage Azure Blob Storage allows your applications to store and retrieve files in the cloud. Azure Storage is highly scalable to store massive amounts of data and data is stored redundantly to ensure high availability.
Azure Service Bus Icon Azure Service Bus Azure Service Bus is a fully managed enterprise message broker supporting both point to point and publish-subscribe integrations. It is ideal for building decoupled applications, queue based load leveling, or facilitating communication between microservices.
Azure Key Vault Icon Azure Key Vault Every application has application secrets like connection strings and API keys it must store. Azure Key Vault helps you store and access those secrets securely, in an encrypted vault with restricted access to make sure your secrets and your application are not compromised.
