The initial objective in the Microsoft Azure AZ-900 Certification Exam entails fundamental cloud concepts. These concepts serve as the groundwork for comprehending why organizations opt for cloud computing and the array of services available within Azure. These concepts encompass the diverse cloud computing models in Azure, the economic advantages of adopting Azure, and the three primary service categories in Azure, which are software-as-a-service (SaaS), infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS), and platform-as-a-service (PaaS).
To commence, we will delve into the realm of cloud computing.
Microsoft presently provides three distinct cloud computing solutions: Microsoft Azure, Microsoft 365, and Microsoft Dynamics 365. Microsoft Azure, the subject of AZ-900 Certification Exam coverage, offers an extensive array of cloud services. These services encompass server-based and end user–oriented computing services, database services, analytics, artificial intelligence, networking, infrastructure, and more.
Note Microsoft's second cloud offering, Microsoft 365, primarily caters to end-user Software as a Service (SaaS) solutions like Windows, Office, SharePoint, and OneDrive. Microsoft Dynamics 365 encompasses applications for enterprise resource planning and customer relationship management. Notably, the AZ-900 exam does not cover Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Dynamics 365.
Both of Microsoft's cloud offerings empower organizations to relinquish the need for housing their computing infrastructure, which they would traditionally self-manage. In most cases, larger organizations maintain their own servers, networking equipment, and other IT resources within a data center, a facility designed exclusively for housing servers, IT hardware, and related infrastructure. Some organizations operate their data centers, while others opt to engage third-party data center providers to host their IT equipment and resources.
Smaller organizations typically rely on third-party data centers or establish server rooms within their facilities, essentially serving as compact, in-house data centers.
Cloud solutions like Azure provide organizations with the capability to transition some or all of their servers, networking equipment, and other IT resources to data centers managed by external providers. In Azure's case, Microsoft possesses and maintains multiple data centers worldwide to host resources for organizations of all sizes. The management of these resources then becomes a shared responsibility between the organization and Microsoft, contingent upon the extent of what Microsoft is hosting and the services the organization is utilizing in Azure.
Regardless of the specific arrangement or the extent of services hosted in the cloud, the decision to offload these resources to a cloud provider like Microsoft offers various advantages, which will be detailed in the following section.
