Azure Platform Services

Azure Platform Services help you build, deploy, and scale applications without managing underlying infrastructure. In this section, you will explore how these services simplify cloud development while maintaining performance, security, and scalability.

You will learn how to use Azure App Services, Azure Functions, Azure SQL Database, Cosmos DB, Azure Storage, and identity services like Microsoft Entra ID. Instead of configuring virtual machines, you will focus on deploying applications, managing databases, and integrating cloud-native services efficiently. As a result, you can accelerate development and reduce operational overhead.

Throughout this category, I explain how Azure Platform Services support real-world architectures. You will understand when to choose PaaS over IaaS, how to design scalable application layers, and how to integrate authentication, monitoring, and security controls. Additionally, you will explore best practices for performance optimization, cost management, and high availability within managed services.

Whether you are a beginner learning cloud application development or a professional designing enterprise-grade systems, these guides provide practical implementation insights. Rather than offering generic explanations, this section focuses on real deployment strategies and architectural decision-making.

By mastering  these services, you can build resilient, cloud-native solutions that scale automatically and adapt to business demands. Ultimately, this category helps you move beyond infrastructure management and concentrate on delivering reliable, modern applications using the full power of Azure Platform Services
