This document provides an overview of Windows Azure, Microsoft's cloud computing platform. It discusses key concepts like Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), Platform as a Service (PaaS), and Software as a Service (SaaS). The document outlines various Windows Azure services like compute, storage, SQL Azure, and AppFabric and how they can be used to build cloud applications. Pricing models for Windows Azure compute and SQL Azure are also presented.

- 5. What is Cloud Computing?Cloud computing is the provision of dynamically scalable and often virtualizedresources as a service over the Internet on a utility basis.
- 6. What is Cloud Computing?Cloud computing is an elastic& scalablecompute resourceon demandCloud computing is not a technology, it’s a way of THINKING
- 7. Cloud as a way of THINKINGExisting technologies adopted in a new wayUtility model is welcomed by small companies and enterprisesSymbiosis of IT Professionals and Developers called DevOps

- 11. Growing FastSuccessful services needs to grow/scale Keeping up with growth is big IT challenge Complex lead time for deploymentCompute Average UsageTime
- 12. Unpredictable BurstingUnexpected/unplanned peak in demand Sudden spike impacts performance Can’t over provision for extreme cases Compute Average Usage Time
- 13. Predictable BurstingServices with micro seasonality trends Peaks due to periodic increased demandIT complexity and wasted capacityCompute Average Usage Time
